The Grey NATO - 158 - Jason's Bonaire Field Report

Jason and Gishani are in Bonaire for a much-needed dive vacation, so this episode is even more remote than normal (thank goodness for Zoom). Recorded from Jason’s apartment on the Dutch island of Bonaire, the TGN boys chat about travel in the time of COVID, what an ideal day in Bonaire is like, the merits of a Pisco Sour, and how the diving stacks up (especially after a spell of such limited travel).

Jason approaching a dive site in Bonaire.

Before the main topic, James has plenty to chat about with the recent arrival of a cheap dive watch and a (literally) feature-packed knife. Be sure to stay in the mix for a great set of Final Notes that will have you delving into a lost tablet and some of the ad-worlds most interesting and funny stories.

The kind of texts you get from Jason when he’s on vacation.
