A couple of days after we were back in the water we took off for Bonaire again. More diving and friends arriving. My best buddy and his wife were inbound from the LA basin and we needed to get back there to meet them. Luckily, we caught a nice day with small waves and moderate winds as we were going against the grain. Our friends on Dragonfly made the trip with us as they are avid divers and wanted more time on the reefs of Bonaire. We both found moorings toward the north end of the anchorage which kept us well away from the loud music at Karel's Beach Bar downtown. Since it was Sunday and we had been underway in the morning we held our Bloddy Mary Sunday gathering that afternoon. Life is so much better when you can share it with good friends ( See picture below). Then a swim in the sparklng waters of Bonaire to cool off. This is tough work, but someones got to do it! David and Nikki were due to arrive on the evening of the 28th of Oct, but thanks to the usual incompetance of AA they arrived late in Puerto Rico and missed their flight. The next flight was not until the 30th so with no other recourse we went diving and waited. I laid on a taxi for that evening and headed to the airport to pick them up. The flight was due in at 8:30 and arrived at 9:00. We gathered up the bags and headed to the dinghy dock for the short trip out to the boat. After getting them settled into their cabin we retired to the cockpit for drinks and conversation. It's good to catch up on the lives of old friends when you haven't seen them for a year or more.
