Just a quick note about our trip. It was a super trip with no travel problems (AA through San Juan). It was snowing here in Bow NH when we got back though. Quite a contrast!
Met some of the Bonaire talkers and a couple of Jake and Linda's friends at an evening get-together at Gibi's Terrace. Food was good and inexpensive and the company was great.
Lee finally found a previously un-reported frogfish on her own at Salt City. I was taking a picture of a green rope sponge when she came over to see what I was doing and she spotted the frogfish. I am trying to claim credit for an assist but not not having much luck.

I finally got a good picture of a large squid. This one was putting eggs in a crevice and let me get very close. Appeared to be curious about me.
We saw a pod of spinner dolphins several times while going to dive sites north of the Carib Inn.

Carib was great as usual. Bruce has added some new rinse tanks at the dock for boat divers and at the entrance for shore divers, along with new touches to the rooms.
There were some neat people staying there. One guy (Neal) did an amazing chalk sketch of an underwater scene on the blackboard in the tiki hut, complete with turtle and all types of fish. Some new divers were certified, and one in particular from Montreal had more fun than you can believe. Her enthusiasm was something to behold.
We have booked next year - 5th April to 26th April, now just have to figure out how to pay for it.

Darlene.. If I get off my butt and get the pics scanned and up on my ClubPhoto site you can see them there. Maybe next week. Have all the spring chores (aftermath of New England winter)to do.

Lee was/is super psyched about the frogfish.
