Smack and I arrived on September 5th, got a hug from Bette at the airport, picked up a decent truck, did a little shopping, checked in with WannaDive Bonaire (as usual):-), enjoyed a visit from Timmmy SWS, took a nap, ate BBQ and Satay with SWS last evening, returned home and crashed.

Woke up to the smell of coffee brewing (thanks Smack) and am currently enjoying the breeze flowing through our Vacation Home and wasting time typing this:-):-):-)

Heading out for a dive with SWS (Squid Whisperer Supreme) in a little while. Can't wait because I hear

"THE REEFS ARE ALIVE WITH THE SOUNDS OF MUSIC":-) Okay, maybe they aren't yet but they will be when I get into "My Special Place" - ohmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm:-)

Oh yeah, Bob T. finally got over being mad at me for almost leaving him at home. Yup, clipped that fella onto my B.C. and he started smiling. Bob is the best little dive buddy anyone could ever have.

Talk to you later, I am going to put on the fish net th... and go diving.

YOO-HOOOOOOO, SWS, WAKE-UP, IT'S DIVE TIME:-)

Good Morning Tom!!!! I'm so glad you are there and it's so cool to know exactly where you are sitting and smelling the coffee...I wish I was there now too!! Now, Debbie and I sit out there "whispering" early in the morning. I guess we are the "Morning Whisperers"!!

Well today was a total bust as far as diving goes. We dang near froze at Chocogo on the first dive and visibilty was terrible at Soft Coral Gardens where we did the second dive.

SWS did get some decent shots and video of an Eagle ray but I don't have anything worth uploading. Nonetheless, here is a Flamenco Tongue:-)
thhhhhhhhpppppppppffffffftttt

Dive shop winnie with a leaking o-ring, oh the irony. He's probably using a nitrox o-ring on an air tank. What's next bike shop owner with defective valve stems?
