Time is totally racing by, only one more dive day left!
Today we did a dive at Oil Slick Leap. I wonder if it was just eel spawning season recently because we've been seeing an inordinant number of baby eels on this trip. Not many lobsters though. Wonder why. I'm still in search of the perfect picture of a flamingo tongue and blennies. Didn't see a lot of new cool stuff today but it was still a great dive.
Our original plan was to do our second dive at the national reserve park at the Northern tip of the island. However, we were twarted by the forces that may be. We arrived there at 2;43 and the dude there explained that last entry as at 2;45 and that we'd have to stay ahead of the patrol truck. As he was explaining the route to take the patrol truck snuck by us and the park entrance was officially closed!! How crazy is that??
On the way back from there, we saw a gabillion flamingos. I took some pix and tried to take some videos of them taking flight (which was really beautiful because they all took off together when we approached too closely and they make cool formations in the sky) but of course had issues with the video function of my camera again. Sorry...
We were planning to get in a second dive today before the night dive but we were both too exhausted so we had to take an afternoon nap to regroup. But now I'm awake and ready for more underwater fun.
More pictures coming soon.
Oh, today we were discussing how cool it would be to rent a boat, we'd be able to dive at Klein Bonaire and cruise around the area. And it would be extra economically sound if we had a 3rd person, maybe someone named Ellen, if she came... We miss you Ellen.
I keep forgetting about Bonaire being Dutch and am always surprised when the neighbors are speaking in Dutch, esp if they're speaking to me in Dutch.
