Bonaire is abysmal. We are in the middle of a terrible no wind period. My siesta was 2 hours long. It is hot and humid and again, not a breathe of wind…Not sure why but it’s not pleasant…

It’s very calm in Bonaire. The winds have dropped and there has not been a drop of rain in quite sometime.  Driving thru town the restaurants were very quiet. The last of the cruise ships came yesterday dropping the masses at Sorobon. Bonaire is thinking of increasing cruise ship tourism. How has this industry helped or hindered your island? Comments are welcome.

 

Enjoy the week!

Greetings from Bonaire!

 

It’s the perfect day to work in my garden. Cloudy and breezy. Today MCB has a tennis tournament. Many tourists arrive for the Easter Week.

Peace to all today…Good Friday!

It’s a cloudy day but the winds are back cooling off the island. Town had some decent rain showers but out in Belnem near the airport we had minimal rain. Happy April Fool’s Day.

There is no wind, the skies are cloudy, the air is still, in fact it’s slightly oppressive. It feels like September. Tomorrow to commemorate the 20^th anniversary of our local windsurf club, Aquaspeed, there is a race around the island with former Olympia, Patun Saragoza and Andy Brandt from ABK fame to name a few. They are rigging their 9.5 sails eeeeeeeeeeeeee…

Bonaire had a healthy dose of rain last night and today. It broke a long drought. Winds have been great for the entire month making for some happy kiters and windsurfers. April is right around the corner.

Bon Dia,

 

It’s feeling like a Bermuda morning here, balmy, humid and a gentle breeze. The sky is quiet cloudy as a storm system is near us off VEN creating this weather funk. Great winds for the windsurfers lately and according to www.windguru.cz, it’s setting up to be a stellar week. Get out the Ibuprophen.

 

Cheers from the B in the ABC’s.

I woke to light winds and a dark skye. The rains came pounding the dry earth for over an hour..then calm..now we had a few cells pass with strong winds and heavy rains. It’s very ominous out..love it…

The skies have opened up and the rains of Ranchipur are in Bonaire. Thank God for the gardens and the donkeys. Lots of squalls and high winds all day Sat.

Not a lot of weather to report in Bonaire. Lots of good wind for our windsurfers, some rainy periods, and some amazing sunny days. Yesterday, there was NOT a cloud to be seen. Nice healthy trade winds made Lac Bay magical for the over 50 sailors on the water. Many are taking the ABK Windsurf Clinic and enjoying the breeze. Today I woke to a passing shower. The dogs are making foot prints all over my once clean patio.

 

Pasa bon weekend.

We have had two weeks of crazy winds. The holiday windsurfers are so happy. Little rain so I am using my septic water to tend to the garden. Otherwise, the skies are blue and life is good.

Happy New Year from Bonaire.

The water levels are very high in Bonaire now, two weeks. Folks here say they never saw the water so high before. It is running over the street near Harbour Village and all along the south the dive sites are flooded. What is the cause please? Are other islands experiencing this? Please email me at ann at bonairecaribbean.com

 

 

Our island has not seen rain in a long time. The limbi limbi gnats are out in full force up our noises, in our eyes and driving us bonkers. Winds are light. The full moon was lovely. Today was a nice sunset. Lots of plane mechanical woes as to be expected when Mercury is Retrograde. The Queen arrives tomorrow. What fun…

 

 

The trades are howling today in Bonaire. I sailed my 5.2 meter sail on a 95 liter borrowed board..Heaven…

On September 29, 2006, the U.S. Congress approved an amendment that would delay implementation of new passport requirements included in the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, a law requiring U.S. travelers to have passports in order to re-enter the U.S from anywhere abroad, including Bonaire.

Although the last-minute revision which was inserted into a Homeland Security Dept. appropriations bill delays implementation until June 1, 2009, this revision only applies to requirement for passports for land crossings at the Canadian and Mexican borders and for cruise passengers returning to the U.S. from Mexico, the Caribbean, Canada or Bermuda through the same date. However, all U.S. citizens will require passports for travel by air starting Jan. 8, 2007, as previously proposed.

Rain started at 10 PM. The sky was lit with lightning bolts and boomers were heard into the wee hours. The yard is full of puddle and the air is still..a very dark morning in Bonaire. The plants and donkeys are happy. My neighbor’s doggies tied to trees 24.7 with no proper shelter are not..sigh…

The dogs are restless. They cannot get comfy and are very edgy. The winds are still reversed, the air is still and it’s overall hot hot hot…our utility bills have doubled so many are not using AC during the day…me included. Ugh…need some respite from this no wind dilemma.

On September 29, 2006, the U.S. Congress approved an amendment that would delay implementation of new passport requirements included in the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, a law requiring U.S. travelers to have passports in order to re-enter the U.S from anywhere abroad, including Bonaire.

Although the last-minute revision which was inserted into a Homeland Security Dept. appropriations bill delays implementation until June 1, 2009, this revision only applies to requirement for passports for land crossings at the Canadian and Mexican borders and for cruise passengers returning to the U.S. from Mexico, the Caribbean, Canada or Bermuda through the same date. However, all U.S. citizens will require passports for travel by air starting Jan. 8, 2007, as previously proposed.
