| In the early morning of August 26,
2007 we started to a new IOTA-Expedition.
Our destiny this time was the archipelago
AVES DE SOTAVENTO, east of Bonaire. The east side of the
archipelago consists of a several kilometers long coral
reef, a dangerous breakwater.
In the last centuries this area was the fait of many sailing
ships. Even these days still frequent accidents are
reported.

want to know more, please click the above link for your
exploration.
Our transportation was a brand-new open
sea tug. We had a comfortable trip, and after 10 hours we
arrived near a small naval station at the most southern
island of the archipelago.
The tug anchored near the beach and we
were transferred by a small boat to the island. |
