Bonaire, day 5

What a day.  Everything went really well, but still whipped.  Let's see... up at 6, ate, on the boat by 8.  Shore dove the Hooker again with some new divers.  It's an impressive sight as the hulk looms out of the gloom.

Then "Red Slave".  The site is situated where the old slave shacks are.  These are red... thus the name.  The ones up the road are whitewashed.  Guess what site is called...  Anyway, the huts are about 5 feet tall, maybe 6 feet long and 4 feet wide.  The door is all of 3 feet tall.  This used to house 4 slaves!

Then the boat dives.  "Sout Bay" no, not SOUTH, Sout.  Lots of fish, but I think I had seen them all before.  Then on to "Mi Dutchi", which means, "Sweetheart".  In town, the female clerks and waitresses call me, "Duchi" and I thought they were calling me a bad name...

Then race back to the dock to get tanks and head to the "Salt Pier" for a great night dive under the salt docks. 

No major issues in the surf, didn't loose anyone.  Sigh..... another one down.
