Comments	Fourth time to Bonaire - 2nd to Buddy. More fun with son-in-law who is a dive instructor (4-5 dives a day for him & our daughter). Coral is coming back, but way too much is dead. Mike thinks it is a bacteria that's killing the coral. He raises and sells coral, so I consider him an expert. On the Joannes Sunchi Kiss dive we watched a dive master and 2 students cleaning coral with brushes. I went on 9 dives (3 boat w/them) and they did 15 around the island. Food at Buddy's is good and there are many excellent restaurants in town. We picked up nibbles and wine in town. Town pier was closed so no frog fish to see. Many more cruise ships so you need to schedule trips in town unless you like to rub shoulders and elbows. We love to watch the wind surfers in Lac Bay. I could go there every year and not get bored. So many friendly people makes it more enjoyable.
