Hurricanes are Poopie!!!

Ok so the curse of Bonaire continues.....for all those that do not know what/where Bonaire is it is one of the dutch Antilles islands off the coast of Venezuela, right beside Aruba and Curacao, it is my overall favorite place to dive.......and it hates me. I thought the 3rd time would be the charm.....I was super wrong. 1st trip to Bonaire Jan '04......Underwater camera flooded, weightbelt gone, blood everywhere when I got slammed into lava rocks by a wave (3rd dive of the trip). 2nd trip to Bonaire Aug/Sept '06 almost got bitten by a shark the day after Steve Irwin died from a stingray.....yes I know this one was my fault but still. 3rd trip Aug '07 2 days delay thanks to the Hurricane (that is a really long story in itself that I will spare you) dive computer all jacked up before we even go on the 1st dive (for those of you who know about dive computers, it was telling me I was at 4ft and had been there for 1.5hours while still on the beach) 2nd dive- underwater strobe died (no strobe=bad pics!!) 3rd dive strobe is for sure dead (after an expensive battery change) and now my UW camera won't advance!! 5th dive - regulator busted just before I got in the water. So all in all this is the single most expensive dive trip in history!!!!!!!!! But we did get to see baby sea turtles hatch and find their way to the big ol' blue!!! So here are some fun on land pics for you!!
