...With the ship rescued from the repair shop and the blimp safely secured to it's moorings again, the crew has set sail for a new destination...
"Captain, it seems the repair guys forgot to fix the GPS system. It's showing our course as leading us to the Caribbean." "Matey, the GPS is working just fine. We are indeed headed to the azure waters surrounding the Neth. Antilles. If you want to double check, the 1786 nautical maps are in the... wait for it.. MAP ROOM!" "Nah, we'll take your word for it, Captain. Too many maps down there so very confusing." Righteo then, just stay on this course and we'll be there soon. Our birthday girl is waiting patiently for our arrival. Okay, maybe not so patiently but we can't be late!"
So, with that, the ship's rather worn sails catch the trades and cruise smoothly onward.... Within hours, they have arrived at port in Kralendijk, Bonaire. Once docked, the crew do their usual disembarking thing, wander around aimlessly for a bit, argue over directions and finally shut up long enough to hear music. "Captain, I think we've located the party!" "Are you sure it's the right one? Here on Bonaire, there are parties everywhere." "Captain, I think there's only one big party today. The one across the street."
Once again, the crew takes a few more minutes to figure out what little ditty they want to sing to serenade the borthday girl. Once decided...
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me down
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
Oh yes I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
Look all around there's nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead there's nothing but blue skies
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
Bri-ri-ri-ri-right
Bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
Oh yeah
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day.

Here's hoping you have one of the most wonderful birthdays (July 12th) ever!!! Filled with all of your friends, calls from family and lots of pressies!!!!! After the last few months - you deserve all the pampering Bonaire has to offer!!! 
...While Marlis, the crew, the island residents and a few flamingoes enjoy the party, Captain Isa sneaks into Marlis' Sail Shop to look for some new more colorful sails for the ship. Ooohhhh, she thinks she's spied some with palm trees and mingers on them...
