Hi, thank goodness we'll be back in Bonaire in about five weeks. You don't hear from us very often (we're lurkers), but we keep in touch with what's happening through BT. Peter and I will be arriving May 18th and departing June 1st. We'll be at Captain Don's. Some friends of ours will be joining us, at this time it looks like five or six more people. We're looking forward to meeting the BT group

All of us that hang out on on this site. BT-er is Bonaire Talker. Welcome to the world of Bonaire Talk. We have a wonderful community here.

That's easy Kari....YOU ARE! Actually, it's a term used on this board to refer to the regulars here. A Bonaire Talker in other words.

By Martin de Weger on Tuesday, April 16, 2002 - 11:22 am: |
Jake and Glen, I know that at least the prince is a diver. He (as most of the male members of out royal family) toke his dive courses at the Amsterdam office of the diveschool I'm working for in Rotterdam. This doesn't mean I can talk him to our BBQ, but I'll send them a link to this site. Maybe (just maybe) they will show up on the cam's.
|
By Hazel Scharosch on Tuesday, April 16, 2002 - 4:06 pm: |
Oh, Wow - royalty on Bonaire!! I am referring to, of course, the Fabulous Bakers!!!! Martin, you simply must meet Barry & Sherry. Red Creek has adopted them as honorary students. And Meryl! I wish I could be there to see all of you. As for the "official" royals - they should be so lucky as to meet Jake and Linda, the true king and queen of the sea. Has me wondering, tho...is it difficult to dive whilst wearing a tiara??
|
By Martin de Weger on Tuesday, April 16, 2002 - 4:35 pm: |
Hazel, You as our one and only princess must know how it is to snorkel with a tiara? Diving is in most cases just as snorkeling, but a bit deeper...
|
By Hazel Scharosch on Tuesday, April 16, 2002 - 4:40 pm: |
Oh, Martin, dahling, I NEVER snorkel wearing my tiara - it musses my hair...
|
By Martin de Weger on Tuesday, April 16, 2002 - 4:49 pm: |
Oh, my, what a shame, it looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good on you, you must wear it during your long snorkling trips, you just have to!!!!!
|
By Niki Harris on Tuesday, April 16, 2002 - 5:36 pm: |
Hi Martin and everyone,
|
By Bea and Marvin Jones on Tuesday, April 16, 2002 - 5:43 pm: |
Marvin and Bea Jones will be on Bonaire May 1-15 - staying at Happy Holiday Homes.
|
By Hazel Scharosch on Tuesday, April 16, 2002 - 5:46 pm: |
Niki, hahahaha! I DO remember that! It is that exact thread that reminded ME of tiara talk, LOL!! I love the way you signed off...omnipotently yours...I occasionally sign off memos, etc., in the same way! Gotta do something to keep the laughter alive! Great to hear from you - enjoy our fair isle.
|
By Niki Harris on Tuesday, April 16, 2002 - 6:04 pm: |
Hazel, I knew it was not far from your mind! :-) Can you believe how much has happened in only a bit over a year?
|
By Jenni Hardy on Tuesday, April 16, 2002 - 8:29 pm: |
Kevin and I arrive 21st April, and leave on 5th May. We are staying at Bonaire Town Homes. And yes, we are going to Gibi's on the Tuesday [23rd] evening for dinner. Hope to see some of you there.

|
By Diane Gutman on Wednesday, April 17, 2002 - 12:48 pm: |
Martin- Please add Pete & Diane Gutman to your list, we're "lurkers" as well and it would be nice to meet some other BT'ers while there. We will be staying at Lion's Dive May 17-May 28, our 3rd trip to Bonaire. Thanks!
|
By Martin de Weger on Wednesday, April 17, 2002 - 12:56 pm: |
You're welcome Meryl.
|
By Hazel Scharosch on Wednesday, April 17, 2002 - 12:59 pm: |
Why Martin, I'd love to - thanks for asking! I finally got a date with Martin, everyone - woo hoo!!! Cynde Lee is going to be sooooo jealous :-)
|
By Martin de Weger on Wednesday, April 17, 2002 - 1:40 pm: |
OH, my princess, I'm so glad you accepted. I know a great little restaurant, it really is us... When does your plane arrive? I'll pick you up in my private limosine at the airport.
|
By Meryl Virga on Thursday, April 18, 2002 - 10:58 am: |
Martin I think we share only one day together on the island...we arrive on the 25th and you leave the 26th....we usually go to Captain Dons on the first night in....good food/bar/and hopefully music...I have to check our tickets I think we get in around 3ish...so would be there about 5 or 6.
|
By Jenni Hardy on Thursday, April 18, 2002 - 11:07 am: |
Yes Jake, Kevin and I are joining in the 22nd April Reefcam Dive into Earth Day. And count us in for the potluck BBQ later that day.
|
By Martin de Weger on Thursday, April 18, 2002 - 12:41 pm: |
Meryl, Maybe we'll be there. I don't know if we are going out to dinner with Bert (the friend we are staying with...)
|
By Meryl Virga on Thursday, April 18, 2002 - 12:57 pm: |
No problem Martin, I know its your last day there!
|
By Martin de Weger on Thursday, April 18, 2002 - 1:44 pm: |
PLEASE DON'T REMIND ME!!!!!!
|
By Andrew Clark on Thursday, April 18, 2002 - 9:27 pm: |
Martin add some lurkers to your list my trio of dive buddies and I will be in Bonaire from 22 May till 01 Jun and staying at Belmar. I’ll bring some Polar for your BBQ!
|
By Meryl Virga on Thursday, April 18, 2002 - 11:18 pm: |
Martin! you leave in a few days don't remind me! Andrew...guess we will see you at Belmar!
|
By Peter Domenicali on Friday, April 19, 2002 - 12:25 am: |
Martin, my family (wife Kim and 3 children) and I will be staying at Cheri Sweetnam's rental from 4/22 until 5/1. The information I've read on this board has been immensely useful in preparing for our first trip there. It would be great to have a chance to meet some of the "regulars" who post here. Of course, once we leave home, we'll be "off the Internet" for the duration, so I'll check back here before we leave to see if y'all have scheduled a get-together, picnic, dinner, etc. My 12 year old son and I plan to do our cert dives for OW with Wannadive, so maybe we'll run into other "BT'ers" there during the week.
|
By Sarah on Friday, April 19, 2002 - 1:43 pm: |
Meryl, as I've managed to loose your e-mail address (again), I just wanted to pop in here and wish you a great vacation on BON.. (and everyone else for that matter). Doubt I'll be back here for a bit as Hugh and I are leaving for the States in a little over a week and I've got heaps to do..
|
By Meryl Virga on Friday, April 19, 2002 - 10:57 pm: |
Sarah...emailed you...have a great time and thanks for thinking of us!
|
By Martin de Weger on Sunday, April 21, 2002 - 5:34 pm: |
I think we should get together at Gibi's on "Koninginnedag" (Queensday), wich is april, 30-th. For those arriving later in May, send me a mail at mweger@chello.nl, I'll check it more or less regular... You can also leave a message at the front desk of Caribbean Court, wich is located right next to Plaza.
|
By Jake Richter - NetTech on Sunday, April 21, 2002 - 10:29 pm: |
April 30th is also Rincon Day - quite a fun festive time in Rincon! Definitely should do something that day since it's a holiday (and the kids are out of school too)
|
By Martin de Weger on Monday, April 22, 2002 - 12:48 am: |
OK, so no Gibi's..... I'll be at Rincon somewhere....
|
By Martin de Weger on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 2:25 pm: |
There is a BBQ planned!!! look here!!!
|
By Karla on Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 6:21 pm: |
Another lurker... I've been cruising through BT finding out all sorts of good info for my first visit. I (we) will be staying at Crown Courts 44a from May 7 thru 18. 12 Days, 14 hours, 44 minutes away.... I can't wait. There will be 6 of us in total, all divers, at the house. We're planning on finding a few of the cams for folks back home. Thanks so much for all the info! This website rocks!

By Carole Baker on Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 6:50 pm: |
Have fun, Karla and we will be looking for you on the cams and awaiting your trip report upon your return to home base! CArole
