What this video covers
Remy proposes to Kate Whitaker on a beach in Bonaire at sunset, completing a plan the Whitaker family had kept secret for months.▶ 10:15 The family sailed Zatara, a Privilege catamaran, three days nonstop from Puerto Rico to Bonaire to set up the engagement.▶ 0:42 During the passage, the crew swapped the Code Zero for the Genoa overnight to allow sleep, then re-deployed the Code Zero in the morning, arriving at eight knots.▶ 0:59 Bonaire requires mooring balls only — no anchoring — at $35 per night; diving in the national park costs $40 per person for a dive tag.▶ 4:23 Check-in itself was free.▶ 4:18 Remy's parents and Anna flew in to witness the proposal; the ring, a pearl bought in Hawaii, had been hidden aboard for months.▶ 9:51 The proposal happened at sunset on a beach; Remy's mic was never switched on and the family missed the camera angle, but his father captured the best footage.▶ 10:26 The crew also dives the salt pier and pumps holding tanks at a designated Bonaire dump station, which the island requires and provides at no charge.▶ 16:08 The Privilege catamaran runs 220-volt French electrical, making European ports the only practical source for compatible appliances.▶ 8:46
