Here is another Dieter van der Eyken update! This time it's Bonaire, Bonaire and Bonaire!

Hello everybody!

Here in Bonaire already 2 and a half weeks have passed like it was nothing; everything is going really fast and in a bit more than a month I’m already flying home again. This year, Bonaire is definitely making up for last year where I had no wind for 3 weeks... Besides the first week. it has been windy almost every single day and not only 5.2m² weather but also 4.8m² sessions which were sometimes a bit overpowered. In other words, I’m scoring the good side of Bonaire big time!

It is really nice to be on this island again as I see a lot of old friends again but also make new ones. The vibe is always good and the sailing is just amazing!! I’ve been sailing a lot with all the top guys from Bonaire and each of them pushes me to train harder and try moves that I wouldn’t think of if I was sailing alone. The level went up a lot from the guys and I have to admit that in the past 2 weeks I learned already more than I could have expected and with the first windless day not even visible on the forecast, the training will keep on going hard and a lot to get myself fully ready for the 2013 season!

Besides all the good sailing, I’m also one of the first visitors to stay in the “Surfhouse” which offers cheap accommodation not to far from Sorobon. It’s really interesting to stay in the hotel, especially for short stays as you just pay 12 dollars per night and per person which for Bonaire is pretty cheap!

Well I’m off again for another great session! Got a lots of footage from everybody here the other day with the GoPro3 so I will try to put some stuff online A.S.A.P.!

Cheers!
Dieter - B35
