Pat, I told Gregg what ya told me after I told ya what happened and he got a chuckle out of it. I can laugh now, but sure wasn't funny at the time. So glad they improved those darn steps! And for those who are reading this, honestly, I didn't do anything, I tried a really big giant stride up those old stairs with tank on back and forgot the law of gravity always wins and ended up flat on my tank, felt like a beached whale, crammed in between the steps and the wall there. And Gregg, well, he was too far to catch me and just walked right by me! He did come back and help me after he went up the stairs took off his tank and then came back to assist me. It was worth it, the dive there was awesome, did it a quite a few times last trip. I don't know if it was coincidental or not, but after that day, the steps were torn down. When I got back to LBR and told Pat about it the next day, he has busted me about it being me who got the old steps busted. Shoot, the old steps almost busted me is more like it.

Dr. Director, I am so glad to say there are no pics of my giant stride attempt of going up those darn steps! Not sure if I really had anything to do with them getting them fixed, but glad to do my part if someone had seen me that day that could actually do something to fix them. I will say that there were a lot of people on the beach and surrounding area and I was sure that everyone would start laughing and pointing fingers at the american lady as I walked to the water to wash off all the sand, but guess what, no one did and that meant a lot and spoke more than words can say of the people of Bonaire. I can't wait to dive that site again, but this time will not mess with the laws of gravity.

Really good to hear. We love that site, but were always concerned about the stairs. We are looking forward to trying them out May 25 - 31.
