seahorse orangeAnd Vandenberg any closer it would have knocked you out. But the mission was to find seahorses and we did that too.  So the day started out slowly and after some navigation issues we ended up in Kaapata for a dive.  Unlike a lot of the sites here (due to last months hurricane) in Bonaire there was a lot of wildlife on this one.  

After about 90 mins we got of the water and were treated to 2 very large iguanas hanging around the truck by a wall, Harold got to try out his new camera and got a great shot of it.  

So a stop in Rancon for lunch at the  local restaurant were you can have Turkey, Chicken, Beef, Goat or Fish stew only so chicken it was.  Then off to the windsock resort after a stop at the hut and a Seahorse hunting we went.  Within 2 minutes we found an Orange one which apparently is rare in these parts as most of them are black/greyish colours.  After a few more minutes Annie started screaming and I dropped the camera (attached to a dring) as I thought her or harold were in dire straights and to my delight a whale shark swims by.  

Right over Harold who is oblivious to the fact and right by Annie and I.  So after years of diving in whale shark territories I finally got to see one.
