Roger Burnham, a Bonaire resident and runs www.blennylips.com, and www.bonairevideo.com has created some unique ways to post your videos on Bonaire Talk. Hopefully as we tweak this, it will just get better and easier.

Great initiative, Roger. I hope to see a lot of Bonaire videos here soon. Unfortunately I take photo's myself, so I have no videos to share. And since you mentioned it yourself, there are some nice Bonaire movies on YouTube already.

Roger, thanks again for doing this. I think it will be a great place for BTers to post their Bonaire Videos!

Cynde, a great idea, and I will certainly consider it when on island (in 11 days!). But I will have to think very hard about it, because I find it more relaxing to just float around and freedive, lose myself in the nature surrounding me. I'm already bothered by the necessary mask and fins, and I usually don't even take pictures (there are enough pictures already, and all of them better then I could ever take them). Taking along a "film crew", however nice Roger might be, would certainly make my experience very different.

Anonymous, you remind me of a good friend who is a snorkeler...I introduced her to the island for the first time a year ago October. We had been to the BVIs together, and I'd been trying to talk her into learning scuba...well, after about the fourth day of going with us divers to sites...we pull up, she grabs her snorkel gear...we go to check the site out...there are about 10 huge rainbow parrotfish in the shallows...i mean in 2 feet of water! She jumps in...and swims with them...of course, we are gearing up...by the time we get in the water they are all long gone!...on one of the other dives, as we were gearing up, I looked at her and said "you will never scuba will you...it's too much of a hassle getting ready"...she said "you got that right!" lol! She did however, become hooked on Bonaire and is now making annual trips to the island!

Cynde, thanks for the best wishes for my trip. I'm sure I'll have a good time snorkeling. Of course I understand the advantages of diving over snorkeling, and maybe some day I'll be tempted enough to give it a try. It's just that the simpleness and freedom that go with snorkeling, fit in perfectly with my "holiday feeling".

Personally I think snorkeling is a lot harder than scuba...I need to be near the bottom (don't care much for just floating around) and all that free diving,kicking and breath holding really wears me out!

Hi Maarten, I don't know if you're right in correcting me (on the AJAX-website and several others I find "elk foordeel hep se nadeel" of iets van die strekking), but if you are, thanks for putting it right. Not that it really matters, because the deep meaning of this stays the same. "Usually you only understand something when you get the meaning of it" is another great one. By the way, I think there actually already are several books with Cruyff's sayings. I wouldn't mind reading a few. Sorry non-Dutch BT-ers, but Cruyff is a Dutch icon equal to Babe Ruth, with the difference of still being alive. he was one of the best soccer players ever (up there with Pele and Maradona), a terrific coach, and he has furthermore amused us through the years with his way with words. He's a very intelligent man, but he hasn't had much education, speaks in a terrible Amsterdam dialect with the accent that goes with it, and makes many language errors. Combine this with his always wanting to explain (and know better) and you get a kind of stand up comedy most artists would die to be able to copy. He's just great.

OK Gang, I've been doing some adjustments in the files and we have a new tag now... For people who have uploaded their movies to www.bonairevideo.com and want to share it with all of us, you can use the following tag: \video{VIDEO#,description}. The video# is the last number in the link you get when clicking on the "get link" option on www.bonairevideo.com and the description, well, that's just the same as when posting an image...
