I've noticed this really bright light at sea in many night cam shots. Is a fishing boat? Is it one of those fishing boats from Spain?

Might it be light out on Klein Bonaire, maybe? It's very bright...the one you have captured in the pic.

Klein is over the other way. Not in the Yellow Sub cam. I've noticed this light many times. (sailor here) It moves around, but not a lot, often there.

Might be a mast light?

Could be a freighter light from the salt pier when it is loading salt? Or a mast light as Jerry said.

Hmmm, the next shot from the cam has a little hot rod speed boat at the dock, with a very bright light, like car headlight. That might have been pointing at the cam for that bright light.

Mola - You heard something from the fishermen you said about fishing rights for Spain .... we talked to some, nobody ever heard of it, I did ask other people , nothing - nothing in the news papers ..... do you have any other source of information ?

This was in 2003, I believe. Does the Reporter have archives? I was there when there were meetings and a 'protest parade' But the decision was made in Curacao.

Right, there was that news in the past - had completely forgotten ! That was at the time a decison of the central government without consulting Bonaire or one of the other islands.

Could it be an oil tanker waiting out at sea? Have seen them over the years off shore waiting to dock at the tanks up north.

Well, I will be at LBR in a few weeks and will see what's out there. I know I have seen bright lights from the Salt Pier area shining brightly from the beach at LBR. I think it is from there.

We always see a bright light "out there" at night from the Black Durgon. We're speculated oiler, trawler, etc, but never had a definitive answer. I guess we should have asked Al!
