SSL 322 ~ The Pink Island

[@audreyseddon9749]

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.

[@somadevo]

All your videos are exceptional, Rick. You do a great job of utilizing the drone photography to illustrate what you are sharing. Highest Blessings

So nice to see new places with u Capitan

[@rajuncajun121]

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]

Glad you enjoyed Randy! :)

[@cometjockeydave4041]

@@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.

[@melindamccoy3124]

Amazing! Great break from the slick of ice outside here right now. im ready to say goodbye Ontario and hello Carribean. Amazing guide you have there and the drone shots are just epic! Thanks Rick.

[@michaeltillman1147]

Very Interesting Rick.! Thank you very much for this update.!

[@10lauset]

A very enjoyable video. Your island friends give us an insight into it's development. The drone shots of the eastern shore and the salt flats were great. Cheers

[@love4diving22]

Great drone footage. I love the view from the ocean looking onto Bonaire.

[@vinniemontrealangler]

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

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Glad you enjoyed, sorry to hear about the river! :)

[@murrat]

Some really nice footage Rick.

[@tomwilliams8675]

Drone videos are excellent. Thanks for the tour. One foot of snow here in Syracuse NY

[@DMUSA536]

Tom Williams a bit less here in Rochester, but cold and snow all the same. And it’s supposed to be a mild winter.

[@csjmoore]

Interesting power production and statistics Brenda.

[@rrrobeltnest7295]

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

[@gogs1468]

Great video, very informative, keep em coming.

[@jerryforeman4543]

Thanks for the excellent tour! Cargill also mines salt from underneath the Finger Lakes in New York mainly Seneca Lake.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Glad you enjoyed! :)

[@tomwilliams8675]

I've worked in the salt mine under Seneca lake. It goes over 7 miles north 2,400 feet under the lake surface.

[@bigblockcutlass123]

these are the best

[@Rickhaltrich]

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

[@ririn_lav311]

Nice one capt

[@skflyfish]

Thx! Always nice to get local info from a local, though she sounds like Canadian ExPat. ;-) Very interesting ecology. Always enjoy your vids.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Yes, Brenda is a fellow Canuck, Lol

[@Michael-cf9lf]

Pretty cool place, i didnt know anything about it.

[@geojbig]

Nice!

[@raineystrees]

RICK, How old is this video? real time? 4 months. Glad to see you cruising.

[@gaflaview6476]

Good video Captain and thanks to Brenda. Question: As a previous visitor/diver to Bonaire and a Mavic Pro owner that wants to go back at some time, did you get special permission to fly? It is my understanding you cannot fly on the island. Thanks

[@RedemptionReady]

Just added Bonaire to the cruising list... Love the Green Economy. Tsunami probably from Las Palma 28.718692, -17.869775

[@billlawmarshall5197]

Nice video Rick. Just curious what is your favorite island of the ABC islands. Also do you have to donate money on Patrion if you enter one of your crew contests. You are awesome and I would love to meet up with you one day

[@anthonyellis9804]

No mooring balls available, what's the marina cost?

[@pirateracer69]

Hi guys.

Nic Video

[@thomastaylor6991]

Brenda rocks. You're OK too,Captain

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks! I think... ;)

[@JudgeDredd_]

I didn’t know there were volcanoes 🌋 underwater there

[@arumrunner]

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

[@blindfactory1700]

Looks like the bad side of Aruba
