Trip to Bonaire

Recently Randall and I took a scuba diving vacation to Bonaire. I DO NOT scuba dive unless you count my falling off the boat on the Friday before we left. No I'm not kidding. Normally I lay by the pool while the group scuba dives....I figure that is safe enough. Well I let them talk me into going out on the boat to see the dolphins...yada yada yada. So I decide that I do not want to appear to anti-social and agree to go with them. On this particular day they decide to take us to the EAST side of the island. This is a part of the island that they (the group) have never been to before....well there is a reason for that.....it's ROUGH. So on our way to the EAST side of the island some of the ladies (myself included) were sunning on the front of the boat. As we venture out further to the dive site the water goes from calm to waters I like to call....get me outta here!

The dive master stopped the boat and requested that we (the ladies that are sunning) get back in the back of the boat due to the rough waters. So Linda (first suntanned lady) slowly works her way around the side of the boat and proceeds safely into the boat. Then it's my turn. With camera in one hand and coverup in my other hand I take two steps only to slip and go directly thru the bars of the boat into the ocean. Keep in mind please I DO NOT SWIM. I go under with my sunglasses and flip-flops still on.....camera has gone flying......along with the coverup. I come up and thankfully.......I do keep calm........I actually had enough sense to not panic. Anyways three men dived in (Randall was not one of them) and saved me. Other than that our trip was peaceful, uneventful, and relaxing. I can't wait to go back.
