BONAIRE OYSTERS


 With Bianka safely on land for the Winter. I have now implemented my Winter retirement plan. Which is to get to some place warm at least for a week every month during the season.  January finds me on the Dutch Island of Bonaire  Where I spotted 3 sailing boats coming into the harbor early in the morning while having my coffee. It turns out these 3 boats are Oysters of various sizes and they are participating in the Oyster World Rally 2022. Their names are Nakita,  Black Lamb and Intrepid. I entertained the idea of asking them if they needed an extra crew member for the next leg of the cruise. Then I watched the crew of one of the boats spend much of the afternoon washing, cleaning, scrubbing and polishing the boat and settled back enjoying my afternoon drink on the balcony across from their dock.

A RETIREMENT PLAN FOR WINTER

With Bianka safely on land for the Winter. I have now implemented my personal Winter Retirement Plan. Which is to get to some place warm at least for a week every month during the Winter season.  January finds me on the Dutch Island of Bonaire. Getting someplace warm over the winter even if it’s just for a little bit can really help make the winter go by fast. Unfortunately, it’s not easy for most people who need to work to keep paying the bills. I was one of those people until retirement finally happened. I hope everyone can implement a winter retirement  plan like I did and get to a place that makes them happy.



and get to a place that makes them happy.
