Hey, Joe...you put your layover time to great use! Thanks for the trip report. You two certainly did have a great time. Kudos to you for booking the Oscarina for your 30th anniversary!! What a wonderful surprise and treat. Ready to sail off into retirement sunset? Sounds like a plan to me. Can't wait to see some pics when you land and catch your breath. Safe trip the rest of the way. CArole

Joe, Iloved your trip report! It was very informative and to the point. Come to think of it, I don't know what my favorite reason for loving Bonaire so much is: The friends, the food or the fish! I guess it's all of them!!!

Cheezy, great report I'm glad you had a good time, great anniversary, and some wild dives on the east side I've missed the cave snorkeling the last two trips, and next time I'm going to find someone to take me come hide nor hare! I need to remember Hans' name...looking forward to the pics (and a new profile pic perhaps?)

Cynde............Hans the Dutch Guy..........that's all you need. Who's complaining about my profile.....everybody wants to see Velveeticus, all the more reason to keep my identity secret.

Joe: I'm keeping my fingers crossed that next time you're in Bonaire, there are TWO divers. You were SUCH a gentleman about giving up the garlic shrimp at Gibi's. Didn't he bribe you with an Amstel??

Josie, great meeting you and thanks mucho for the peptalk for the wife. It was a polar and I had to fight Bob the realtor for it.

Joe, are you near Joseph City? I have some friends who are avid divers who live there. They have not yet been to Bonaire and I have been "working" on them for almost two years now....I think they are biting on the hook....hard not to, right?! Carole

Thanks, Joe. I love the US SW desert. I miss seeing the flowers bloom in the desert springtime. We used to visit friends in North San Diego (Sandy Eggy) County and then trek on out to the Anza Borrego desert for a few days to watch the growth and beauty out there. Guess that's one of the many reasons we love Bonaire, too....the desert terrain amongst the obvious waters, people and fauna. Thanks, Joe!

Oh you big Cheese! Great report...I love finding new restaurants on Bonaire..seems like with each visit there are new ones to enjoy! Keep working on your wife's diving...If she wants to sail...she can dive!

Carole, I'll try to dig out some local pics after I winnow through 2 hours of video. Between that and going back to WORK UGH, I'm gonna be pretty tied up for a couple of weeks, remind me if I forget. Yes, I do get to Mexico pretty often, both for pleasure and for work. I pretty much seen about all of northern Sonora (state just to the south of us) and have dove the Sea of Cortez quite a few times (never enough though)
