Hey everyone. I really appreciated all your feedback to me on my pilot. I didn't put it out to too many people just yet as I felt I was in testing mode.

I got a lot of great positive feedback from all of you and from friends. But many comments said that the pirate opening with me introducing the show was too cheesy and not natural like the rest of the show.

Sooooo...when it becomes not just one person's opinion anymore, but the voice of many, I reconsidered my hammy opening and reshot it!

Please take a look at the new opening segment....ya don't have to watch the whole thing again, unless you want to!

I also added a map of where Bonaire is in the Caribbean...which was a no brainer that I forgot the first time!

There is a shorter, 5 min version that is now ready to be shopped to the networks, cable co's and production co's.

I think it's more clear now that this show is geared towards baby boomers, enjoy!

I like the newer version better.
All that pirate stuff in the begining didn't appeal to me, but I do understand it does to younger viewers.
The old begining was cute and catchy but not what Bonaire is, in my opinion.
I love seeing Renne'e on tape and the donkey's too, and hope to see your piolet on TV someday.
I recommmend anyone who has been there or interested in coming to Bonaire to take a peek.
It gives a nice prospective of the island.
Takes me back again.
Good Luck with your adventures, Mercy

I also like the new opening segment better.
Good job on both versions by the way.
Good luck with your endeavors and thanks for sharing it here.
