Hi Folks,

Here's an official statement:

OFFICIAL STATEMENT
HURRICANE FELIX


Kralendijk, Bonaire – September 2, 2007 – 0845 EST – Statement from Lt. Governor H. Domacasse:

Hurricane Felix passed north of the island of Bonaire in the early hours of the morning, causing sustained rain and winds, but resulting in no major incidents.

The local population and visitors remained in their homes and hotels overnight. No calls were received on the emergency line set up in preparation for the storm. It is currently not raining, but more rain is expected later in the day.

Flamingo Airport remained open throughout the night, with the KLM flight from Amsterdam landing at 12:50 am and taking off on schedule at 4:25am. American Eagle and Continental flights will operate later today.

Wow! That statement is good news. Looks pretty rough on the active cam at Yellow Sub. At least there have not been any "major incidents".
I still mourn the loss of Green Parrot from Lenny. :-(
Good luck to all on Bonaire.

First phone call with some of my old colleagues learned that there is little to no damage....

Now we wait for some underwater reports....

jan, I also miss the Green Parrot.

I'm glad all are safe on Bonaire

We miss the Green Parrot too - such fond memories of our first trip to the island :-)

Happy to read Felix left little/no damage on Bonaire.

Hope all is well?

Be back on Bonaire again soon..

Sarah

This may sound dumb, but what is/was the Green Parrot

Linda, it was a restaraunt on the shore by Sand Dollar.
Hey Sarah, howdy! You were up late!

Hey Seb,
How are things with you?

Yes, was up late doing a little work for today (was too lazy over the weekend)!

Sarah
ps. we still have those little drink accessories from Green Parrot (a flamingo and a fish). Lost the t-shirt in the house move :-(

Hey, Sara, Big John sold you those "drink accessories" . This is Bob T. Remember? I still have my t-shirt.

Hi Bob,

Forgive me, I think you will need to jog my memory a little more (perhaps a picture)?

I wonder if it's still possible to obtain one of those t's?

We are well, Sarah, and experiencing something like a real Autumn this year.

That's good to know, Seb. Who knows what sort of Autumn we shall have this year - summer was a complete washout! September here, however, has started off rather nice: warm temps and no rainfall (yet)!

I've moved this topic to Local Items.

Here's a picture of my polo shirt:

WOW CHET!
That shirt brings back memories....
thanks for posting it!
Mare

Chet..That's a real collector's item for the Bonairean cognoscenti! The G.P. was wonderful. Had many. many a meal there (& great CB's) when we used to stay at SD.

Thanks Chet - and it still looks nice and white!

Sarah,
Yes, I'm afraid to wear it! I'm still looking for any pictures we took of the pier and Green Parrot during our two trips pre-Lenny.
