Arrived in Bonaire, things relatively cheap, English well spoken. Town awash with Americans of above average girth (well maybe not above average for Americans), sporting T-Shirts from every island in the Caribbean. They'll be from that cruise liner then.

Cash points work *sighs happily*, wifi doesn't *sighs resignedly*. I'm beginning to feel justly proud of PierToPier.net it worked most of the time covered a wide area. Nobody round here seems to be able to compete with us on that score.

Competition Time

Can you spot the flying fish in this photo. No? Nor can I that will be another picture to add to my list of failures in the flying fish photography stakes.

Face it readers, you can't experience all of life from the internet. There is no virtual reality version of being hit by a flying fish; to be honest I can't see the commercial appeal of that one. I've never been hit by a flying fish yet, I've had a few near misses. One bloke I met had one go up his shorts (eugh), Borje on Ornen had one land it his bed, thought the skipper was throwing sausages at him.

Green Flash

Apparently just as the sun goes down in the tropics, you get a green flash. This story is twittered inanely by yachties , especially those new to tropical sailing. I've spent close on 2 years in the tropics. Often with nowt better to do than watch the sunset. I've not seen it once. I think it total tripe. If someone says they've seen the "green flash", they're either lying or have been staring at the sun sol long their eyesights fubared. Can you see any green in this photo? No thought not.
