April 14, 2012, 
At around 11 am today Laura Dekker (16), the world’s youngest singlehanded circumnavigator, departed Bonaire on course for the San Blas (Kuna Yala) Islands and ultimately New Zealand. However, this time she wasn’t alone. She sailed in company with Bruno Ottens, 18, a Bonaire resident of Dutch descent. 
 That doesn’t mean she and Bruno, are romantically involved. As Laura wrote on her blog, “Today I said goodbye to all my friends I made on Bonaire, except for one who I became really good friends with and is also keen on the adventure of sailing to New Zealand. So tomorrow I leave Bonaire again, but with crew this time. He's not a sailor so I can teach him a lot. On the other hand, he's a good guitar player so I can probably learn a lot too. I'm really curious about how it will be to sail with crew. Not being alone on the boat and not having the silence around me anymore, but it's a nice new challenge!”
