Bonaire

Liz & Kathy on Makai - Thanksgiving


Sully, a young whale stranded himself in Curacao - the cruisers take

turns babysitting him. They hope to release him back to sea - so far

he follows the ship back to his pen instead of following the other whales.

Craig, Kathy & Fred - Bonaire


We sailed from Curacao to Bonaire about 3 weeks ago. We had a great sail.

Bonaire is one of the best dive spots in the world. The water is very clear - although our friends tell us it not as clear as it was several months ago. There is a bit of a surge going.

We had a great Thanksgiving on Makai - Turkey with all the trimmings.

We did an island tour by car and had a blast. There are great snorkeling and diving spots all around the island as well as wildlife - huge iguanas and lots of pink flamingos.
