2018.
Just in time for the
latest Blog we decided to set sail towards the North. Only to be
thwarted by the Northerly winds! So we are still here in Bonaire (am
I complaining?)
There have been no
problems either with ‘Piano’ or her subsidiaries. We have hit 70
dives and feel a bit more confident. Underwater snaps do not do
justice to the enormous variety of fish, reef creatures and corals
which FILL the waters here. Typically after a dive we get the tanks
refilled at Yellow Submarine Dive center and do internet for the day,
then back aboard we record the days sightings and give the snaps
proper names and tags. With notes on the dive site and ephemera like
that. It rained while we were down the other day and as we surfaced
the number of fish who were just staring at the surface was amazing!
Maybe to them it’s like us watching the sunset?
Mundane living
involves shopping on a Tuesday and Friday evening at Van den Tweels
which has most of our needs (Croissants, Beer,etc). General
housework, laundry, and meals. So the day is filled. Just like at
home.
However we don’t
get distracted by weather or the seasons so it’s nice to hear from
friends who are suffering. Malcolm’s Birthday, My Birthday, and
Christmas passed uneventfully. Apart from a working party (on my
birthday) at which we did maintenance and polishing the Local School
sailing clubs fleet of Sunfish and other dinghies. This was enormous
fun, I even got to use a power polisher! What a difference!

My latest time
filler is renaming book folders by author surname and boy is it a
mammoth task! I’m mid way through the B’s so there is a way to go
yet! And only two months till we head for Trinidad and home! I don’t
think it will get finished this year…
I remember doing
some planning for land travels when we were home last year, Australia
and Norway were on the bucket list. However between Bohill and it’s
upkeep (May-July) and Delf August -November) I will be surprised if
we do any land stuff.
Well here are some
snaps to look at I hope they upload promptly while we do internet
next time!
