Brenda is a splendid guide for the island! I loved her descriptions of the history and industry of the place. And as usual, the drone footage and editing is awesome. I think Brenden might have a future in show business.

Brenda is a wealth of knowledge and a great guide. She knows her Island 😎 Great job with the editing Brenden. Like your choice of background music. Rick, you ask all the right questions to get the maximum amount of information to share. Great job on the aerials of the wind farm gentleman. It was good seeing Padjen on this adventure. Keep up the great work Captain Rick and crew. Cheers, Orlando Rick

@@SailingSophisticatedLady I'm loving your videos. Always looking forward to the next one. My buddy and I need to step the mast on his Catalina 30 but we can't seem to find where to disconnect the wires going to the anchor/steaming lights. I'd be interested in any thoughts you as a former C 30 owner might have.

Very educational, terrific way to showcase not just the beach. shore, bars.. but actual topography of the area.. 40 percent windmill power on 13 windmills.. Terrific! Nice drone images, let us appreciate the scope of the place.. Good job Capt'n ! Ill go look at the St Laurence river brown slushy water later and reflect on this. Be good

I hope you guys have more on Bonaire the diving is out of this world. Newcomers dive site is one that only a few people know about. there is a concrete pier going no where & only a path about 4-5' wide thru the stage horn coral that takes you out into the ocean. Be smart & hang a maker @ the exit to the ocean so you can find it on the way back. Bonaire was really ahead of them selves when they declared the waters around Bonaire a Marine Park...That is why it is one of the must go to dive locations in the Caribbean. The yellow stones are placed all over the island so you can find great shore dives. One I bet isn't there any longer is Oil Slick Leap. It was located really close to Condo's that were being built. You entered the water by leaping off about 30' to the water. The dive site was wonderful I saw a HUGE Blue Patriot Fish about 2'5" tall & about 4-5' long. Down side was getting out of the water. It was a welded highway rods anchored in the cliff wall. By the time I got to the top I thought my feet would near un-curl. If I was ever going to do that dive again I would take a rope along to pull up my gear, instead of wearing it. lol

I think she is referring to the fact that the Windward and Leewards are pretty much volcanic in origin as the edge Caribbean plate resides Eastward from Bonaire
