Moonlight

I have been searching on the web for almanac info for Bonaire, no luck. What I want to find out is what will be have for moon phase and times when we head down for a week on 4/28/07.

You've just reminded me of an old blonde joke. Two blondes were walking down the street, one looked up at the moon and says, Is that the moon? The other replied, I don't know, I don't live around here.

So to answer your question, look on your calender at home, the moon phase will be the same as Boniare. As far as tides, it really does not matter as the tides are only a few inches. AFAIK, on the nineth and tenth days after a full moon, avoid night dives unless you want to met some box jellies.

OK so the phase is the same, will the rise and set of the moon be the same?

I know about the tides, it was the moon times I was asking about.

Thanks,

No the time will not be the same but they should be pretty close, a few minutes either way. This \newurl{http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneYear.html,site} will give you the exact times.
