Friday, June 5, 2009. This is the first day I actually slept in. Eric got up about 6 a.m. Bonaire time and went out on the patio and worked on his computer and enjoyed the beautiful morning breeze. I finally got up about 9 a.m. and had a bite to eat for breakfast and then Eric and I went for the final dive of our trip. We decided it was easiest to just dive off the pier in front of our hotel. It was quite windy again today and there was a fairly good current. Because of the wind and the current the visibility in the water was not very good either, but we still got a few good photos. We swam against the current for a ways and then drifted back to where we started. This was the strongest current we had experienced yet. We stayed out for about an hour, but did not go much below 40 feet. We got out of the water a little after 11 a.m. and headed back to our room to get cleaned up to go to lunch. Dick and Lou decided to go back to the north end of the island and ended up having lunch at Captain Don's Habitat. Eric and I decided to head over to the southeast side of the island to visit Jibe City (the big windsurfing spot). They have a nice little beach cafe there and it is also another one of the live webcam spots you can see at www.bonairewebcam.com. As a side note, there is also a nudist resort right next door. After lunch we drove back around the south end of the island and got some photos of the extremely rough surf and finally had our first sightings of Bonaire's famous flamingos. After our drive we headed back to the hotel to start getting our stuff packed for tomorrow's early morning flight out of Bonaire. Boy, a week sure goes by in a hurry!!
