Hi folks, I just discovered this site today. Good to know so many appreciate this little gem of an island! We are coming back down in July for our seventh trip to Bonaire, but hav'nt been there for quite a few years now. Since before the hurricane anyway. We've been island hopping and looking for the perfect place. Bonaire happens to be it. Our last trip was to Ambergris Caye, Belize. Heard so much about how great the snorkeling and diving was with the barrier reef and all. Does'nt hold a candle to Bonaire. Anyway, I digress. Can we expect to find much damage to the corals at this point?

Gail, we haven't been to Bonaire since last June but at that time the coral was beginning to make a recovery. There is still a lot of rubble but the fish were abundant as usual.

Sorry to say that Nukove was beat up badly. No canal to get out anymore.
I think Slagbaai is restored and open again
Just remember that we had the wonderful opportunity of experiencing that before Lenny.Nature has it's ways.Wyacka got pretty beat up too.
The coral close to the shore is making a comback.
The deeper coral wasn't effective much.
Pink Beach lost much of the sand.
There is a new charge for diving, but it all works out, it includeds admission to the park now.
Other than that the island has improved in many ways. Town is pretty much finished.The prominade, the road on the water, from Divi to town is too. Some new resturants. Divi was redone and finished.Casino made bigger.
You'll see some of the familiar faces in the resturants.
I have to see what else has been done since last May.
