This article by BBC is a good summary of where we have been and a lot of the colorful characters on the Ship.
There is a Twitter "X" video that I appear in from Monday - but I can't directly link you to it, so here is address if you want to watch. I'm shown packing up and a brief conversation with Sherie at about 1 minute 38 into 2 minute video. I tried to stay out of news frenzy.

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.
