We visited Bonaire, one of our favorite SCUBA vacation spots once again. (We’ve truly enjoyed Bonaire since 1992). This trip, I was surprised to see Bonaire listed as “Bonaire, Saba & Sint Eustatius Island”, because the Netherlands Antilles islands of Saba, Sint Eustatius and Sint Maarten are located 500 mi / 800 km NE of Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire, the ABC islands. (Screen captures attached.)
In the WME editor, all three of the separate and unique islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba have the same name, “Bonaire, Saba & Sint Eustatius Island”.
Bonaire is: “Bonaire, Bonaire, Saba & Sint Eustatius Island”
Sint Eustatius is missing its name altogether: [The city of] Oranjestad, (“Sint Eustatius” is missing), ‘Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba Island’
Saba is missing its name too: [The city of] The Bottom, (“Saba” is missing), ‘Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba Island’
In WME, Bonaire has the triple-name, while Saba and Sint Eustatius are not named. (Screen captures attached.)
For any of these islands to have the name “Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius Island” in WME seems as silly and as utterly wrong to me as listing the US territory of Puerto Rico as “Puerto Rico, Virgin and Guam island”, then naming the Virgin Islands as “Puerto Rico, Virgin and Guam island”, along with giving that triple-name to Guam as well. They are all separate and distinctly-named land masses.
