Saturday morning saw us heading back to Klein Bonaire to dive on a location called “Bonaventure” along with the Jacksters. They first joined us aboard Dignity so we could discuss and agree location before we headed off in our separate dinghies.
This time I took my camera and we were able to capture pictures of the fantastic reef at that site. The photos simply don’t do the place justice. Below the dinghies at around 20ft was a sandy bottom out of which corals grew looking as if they’d been planted there. Next to this patch was the obligatory (for Bonaire) drop off, this time being almost vertical.
The dive profile was similar to before – down to 90-100ft before slowly making our way back up the reef. We spent the final 15 minutes searching for seahorses (again none found) in the corals beneath the dinghies.
We had a lazy afternoon reading ending up grilling some fine pork ribs we’d picked up on the island. After dinner it was over to the Jacksters to play a game of Mexican Train Dominoes along with the Inspiration Ladies. Congrats to Jackie (Inspiration Lady) for winning the evening’s play.
Hi Guys: Just reviewed all posts and pics since Grenada. Fabulous writing and photography. We’re at home in Canada for 1 more week, then back to the boat on the hard in Trini. Plans are to stay in the Windwards for next 6 months. Hope to travel the Lesser Antilles, Columbia, and then up to the Leewards in 2011-2012. Just not as adventurous as you, I guess (at least not yet).
Very much enjoyed our previous contacts with you. Pleasant journeys. P.S: Do you think it is easier to bleed a fish that has not enjoyed the rum? Time for some experimentation?
