Today was the hottest day I have experienced in Bonaire. 
It also seems much more humid. But then again, I have 
been working all day and have not had a decent windsurf 
session in days. The winds are howling today. No rain 
though. Hope the rest of the islands are enjoying a calm 
day.

Day two of amazing winds  here in sunny Bonaire. I was 
on a 4.5 meter sail and 83 and 90 liter board (windsurf 
addict Annie) both days as it blew 22+!!! Yippeee...keep 
the winds coming. Hope the rest of the Caribbean is 
enjoying gentle trades and sufficient rainfall.

Today was the first day I slept late in 4 weeks. It 
poured rain all morning with heavy winds. Presently I 
can see very dark skies  out in the distance. Looking at 
the radar it appears there is some activity south of us 
in Venezuela. Can anyone confirm this?

Hoping the winds return!

The sky opened up this evening bringing lovely 
rain..lots of it. Good sleeping weather here in peaceful 
Bonaire. Winds are lighter today. After working I sailed 
a 5.5 meter sail. 

Bon noche

I woke to pouring rain again today. Unfortunately the 
showers were brief and the winds subsided from last 
night. The average winds were 12 SE today at Lac Bay, 
Bonaire's windsurf mecca. Around 5 PM dark clouds 
invaded the island bringing moderate winds and showers.

Looking forward to a full moon windsurf session and 
beach bbq Wed. night. 

All is calm

I woke to a really good downpoar. It lasted for an hour 
or so and now there is no wind. I guess it is not a day 
to sail so will do some work and then head up to 
Washington Park to explore.  Humidity is high now of 
course after the rain.

It's a sunny day on Bonaire with moderate winds from the 
East at about 12-15 with higher gusts. The humidity is 
moderate. Wishing for more wind to sail smaller stuff 
down here in windsurf paradise.

We had an hour of rain..downpours which are MUCH needed 
for the flowers, vegetation and donkeys. We also have a 
return of the winds that we WINDSURFERS love..The sun is 
out again and all is well...
