BONAIRE - Day 2 - One of my top 10 so far!
A fellow passenger had told me about a private charter that was available in Bonaire, for a day of sailing. I booked it a couple of weeks before the Miller's arrived and invited two other friends, Bosco and Nuron to join us on this Fun Day. We all had a fabulous time! The sailing was exceptional and the dutch couple who were our captain and first mate, clearly loved what they do - they were so accommodating and the service was top notch with lots of yummy drinks and snacks throughout the journey. We also anchored two different times to snorkel and swim.

Life doesn't get better than this!!!
View from one of high spot in the center of island looking out toward port. Island very dry and arid with lots of divi trees bent over in the winds and two types of cactus - one edible and the other poisonous ( used to build fencing). The Miller's and I did a private van tour around the island and then we ended tour at a beach for a couple hours R&R. Our fabulous driver/ guide came back and picked us up and concluded tour back to port and gave us each a gift ( Bonaire magnet). She was super! Below are slat fields - a big industry for Bonaire - harvested every March. Salt shimmers in sun as the water evaporates in the pools.
