ARICA, CHILE
Coming into our first port in Chile we got quite a wildlife show. We saw whales, dolphins jumping and tons of jelly fish. One of my favorite fellow residents Basia captured it so well on her blog, see link below.
Town was quaint and nice and easy to walk around. Port provided a nice send off with Music and Dancers, it was to celebrate our 100 days of Sailing!!

BONAIRE - Day 2 - One of my top 10 so far!
View from one of high spot in the center of island looking out toward port. Island very dry and arid with lots of divi trees bent over in the winds and two types of cactus - one edible and the other poisonous ( used to build fencing). The Miller's and I did a private van tour around the island and then we ended tour at a beach for a couple hours R&R. Our fabulous driver/ guide came back and picked us up and concluded tour back to port and gave us each a gift ( Bonaire magnet). She was super! Below are slat fields - a big industry for Bonaire - harvested every March. Salt shimmers in sun as the water evaporates in the pools.
PORT OF SPAIN, TABAGO - The Miller's arrive for a visit!
