Life at 8 Knots

James & Julia Cognito Life at 8 Knots

Welcome Aboard!

We're James & Julia Cognito

We sailed thousands of nautical miles looking for a different way of life and found home on Bonaire. Now we get to share what we love most — sailing, diving, and life at a slower pace.

Our goal is to make you feel like you are sailing with old friends, exploring new places.
