If I say Hi Igor and Cinthie!

will they say Hi to me?

Good morning Niki. Maybe if I say hi to them as well, will they say it to me too???

Time to serve some coffee or tea!
Very busy two days. Sorry I didn't have more time for you guys (and girls).
Jenni, I read it went well with the micro-teach. I had all the faith that it would work!

Now about work... let's start with that today
Enjoy the morning!

BTW, Eileen. The photo's of Quinn are adorable!

Good Morning Niki - You know I thought the very same thing Good Morning Diana
I wonder if Igor and Cinthie planned who they would say hello to before they went, or are, as you say, checking the boards. So just in case I have any influence...

Hi Igor and Cinthie We miss you

I agree, Diana, the photos of Quinn are utterly delightful, and a super duper way of starting my morning. Reminds me of what is real, and what is not

So, who's making coffee for us all this morning then? And where is Martine? I remember she had a medical problem yesterday and I hope it is not causing her distress. Looking on the bright side she may have a day off and be sleeping in

Hi Niki, Diana and Jenni,
Yes, I was sleeping ( I talked till very late with Annie and Barbara ), and today I have to do some medical checks.
Jenni, I feel happy your micro-teach went well. THERE WAS NO DOUBT GAL !
Yes, it is nice to wake up with Quinn's pics. He is sooo cute.
Here is you coffee, Diana, it should be the break time for you :o)
Have a nice day.
PS: No comment from me regarding Igor and Cynthie's posts :o)

Ooops, I am not awake !!!
HERE IS YOUR COFFEE !!!

Re: my micro-teach, thanks for your confidence, Martine and thanks for the faith [when mine was failing!] Diana

Gotta go rushing off to work now. byyyeeeeeee

Starbucks coffee is ready.

Good morning!

Jenni, things do work out. Just keep going.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the pics Eileen. I just love Quinn's chubby little cheeks. Jenni. Hang in there gal, you will succeed. Martine. I hope that the medical checks go ok for you today. Now where's that coffee, I need it. Annie B.

Everything is pink and fuzzy. LOL. Annie B.

Good Morning to Niki, Diana, Jenni, Martine, John and Annie B and to everyone!! Thank-you everyone! We have a big day planned, we are going to visit my parents and have a longer car ride.

In case no one read this, Congratulations Jenni!!

Martine, I hope you feel better soon!

Joel has to go...

I have missed a few birthdays too, so Happy Birthday to those who have celebrated a birthday!

I wish everyone a great day!

And good morning to all!

Nikki, Diana, Jenni I had been thinking the same thing - oh well!!

Hola Igor and Cinthie, hope you are having a ball!!!!!

John and Martine, thanks for the coffee.
Martine, hope you get to feeling better.

Y'all have a great day, will try to check in later. Elvira

Niki, my apologies - I spelled your name w/2 ks.
I guess I need more coffee!!!

Where did Eileen post photos of Quinn? I can't find them!

they are coming your way Gail...
Good morning all..
Hi Igor and Cinthie, I know you are having a great time.....

PFFFF, finally some time to look at BT! Lots of people are up and about after my appearance this morning. Good morning to you all!!

Martine (maybe I missed it), how did your bone scan go? Hope the medical checks are going to be fine...

Jennie- are there already people again for watching your house?

Not so much activity in front of the cams this morning....

Thanks Freddie. He's too cute! I got a new grandpup last weekend - no comparison though!

And a good morning to all, too! 8 1\2 weeks til I'll be all wet at Small Wall. (But there probably won't be a cam then..... )

hi all, hope you don't mind me popping in. I will be making my first trip to Bonaire in 81 days and have learned soooo much from all of you. Thanks for all the great info. I am so excited about this trip. Does Bonaire have a casino???? Katie

Hi Katie and welcome to Bonaire Talk! You will probably find your answer on another thread, perhaps under "Everything Else Bonaire". This thread is generally for posting webcam images and the resulting discussion. If you do a keyword search and type in "casino" you get a bunch of information! Divi has a casino, I've been there and it's a pretty nice one.

Have fun on your trip!

Safe diving.

Kelly

WELCOME Katie - we love new people popping in - hope you stay and join the fun with us. Please just laugh when we get a bit loopy - we are harmless!!!

Went through the archives over the past 2 hours and only found this fish!!!

Look at what showed up!?!?! Can't ID!!!

Everything on the cam is fuzzy today- do not know dirty or if the water has a lot of stuff being stirred up!!!

Mary...that is the same thing that was in Annie's 6:42 this morning......wonder what it could be??????
LaDonna

One lone fishie



Hello Katie, and Welcome You will have a FANTASTIC time in Bonaire - there is nowhere quite like it.

Diana, one person asked about house, but not made an appointment to view.

Thank you John and thank you [again] Eileen

Hi Mary Hi LaDonna Hi Kelly

Whoops sorry. Here's another lone fishie LOL



that makes at least 2

LaDonna, that thing is my Pink Blob Ask Mary she knows ROFL

Could be slim - our cam cleaner - that has not been around lately!!!
Katie - when will you be on the island!?!? End of July!?!?! I will be there July 11 - 25th.

There is a thread on Everything Else that track those who will be there in July!!!

Hi LaDonna and Jenni!!!

Gail - I am bummed that now that I can get in front of the reef cam - there will be no reef cam!!!

Is there any new news on whether it will be relocated somewhere else!?!?!

Jenni - we all know and love your pink blob!!!! I think the pink blob is more accurate than slim!!!

Kelly - I missed your post when I said hi earlier - I can't forget to say to my new future diving buddy!!!!

My workday is already done! I'm going to see the horses

Welcome Katie! Hope that you will pop in once in a while.
MMM, I hope the reefcam will be somewhere in september. If someone finds out some new information, I think lots of us are curious as well
Mary- pity that we were not able to go in july

See you all again tomorrow, enjoy the day

Thanks, Diana You too, enjoy the horses

Had a phone call - someone wants to see the house, and even tho' I tell myself not to get my hopes up, this time they are up. Maybe still on a high from yesterday???

I'm keeping my fingers crossed someone/somewhere takes on the reefcam. I would have thought they'd have been fighting for it, with all us lot going round there and checking it out. Whoever took in on would surely increase their business. I just don't get it!

And Mary I sure hope you get to see it

gonna work for 2 hours now. see you all later

Diana - next time - I hope we will be there at the same time!!!! Have a good night!!

Jenni - I would have thought the same thing about the cams!!! Good luck on the viewing - you never know when the right person will come along that just falls in love with it!!!! And yes - I really want to get in front of the reef cam this time. I did try while snorkeling when I was in Bonaire in October - but timing was off - and could not hold my breath long enough!!!

Bye Jenni - see you a couple of hours!!!

this is a different looking fish

is it just because of the fuzzines????

LaDonna

Hello, and welcome Katie !
I agree, the pinl blob is certainely Slim.
Well folks, I need an extra kidney check tomorrow, it is not a stone but a cyst :o(. I can't tell more tonight.
Quite quiet on the cams right now. Time to think about my dinner, well, it's already thought : fish !

Good morning, all.
No time to chat this morning. My sister and brother-in-law arrived yesterday and I will be spending the day with them. Sorry, but they do take precedent.

I'll check in later.

Good morning everyone! The 6:42 and 10:52 is "Slim" the cleaner goby for sure! He hasn't been around lately. Martine...let me know about your tests...kidney cysts are not uncommon and usually benign. Here are Igor and Cinthie again with a general message for us BT'ers

Morning all! Great captures. Martine, please take care and let us know what the results of the test are...Welcome to the nuthouse Katie!

Morning Cynde Hiya Dan [quite understand, no offence taken]

Thinking about you, Martine, and sending you healing vibes

Hi all,

A few items:

1) Igor & Cinthie came into the Gallery this morning and said they are having a great time on Bonaire (I'm embarrassed to say I didn't recognize them at first!). They will be joining us at Gibi's tonight. Cinthie says she doesn't want to leave next week :-)

2) The ReefCam is definitely in need of a cleaning. Now that I'm back from yet another trip I will attempt it shortly (tomorrow or Thursday for sure). Hope I can fit into my wet suit after all the eating out I've been doing during my business trips!

3) Regarding the future of the WebCams, we have just received a proposal in writing from friends who have offered to invest in the WebCams as part of a partnership, which in turn would significantly reduce the cost to a resort for having the WebCams on-property (the proposal had been under discussion for over a month, incidentally, but it took us a while to get the gist of it committed to paper (or electrons, actually :-) ). We are in the process of refining the proposal into an agreement which both parties can execute. When that happens (we're pretty sure it will, hopefully very soon), we will be approaching one particular resort with a new offer and a deadline to respond. If they fail to respond, we will probably open up a bidding process to all other resorts with another deadline, and hope at that point we will close a deal.

In any event, we hope to have an idea of where the WebCams are going in the next 2-3 weeks, and then effect a move of the Cams sometime in June. In terms of the existing location here at our rented house, it's not likely much infrastructure will exist to support the Cams (e.g. Internet service) will be active at our house beyond mid-June (since we will start seriously moving to our new house at that point), so we would like to get the WebCams moved before then if at all possible. Again - we don't know for sure that the WebCams will have a new home, but it's looking a lot more likely than it did a week or two ago.

Jake

Thanks for the very thorough update Jake : WooHooHoo! Can Chubby go with the cams too? LOL

I will keep my fingers crossed that this all works out for you and the future of the cams! Thanks for all your work!

Thanks Jake for the update, and, fingers crossed, shortly we'll have some good news sounds fairly positive

beautiful sunset tonight

Alert, night divers tonight !

I like the blue hues in comparison with the sunset, boat seems to be going pretty fast

Heather, sorry, I didn't see you, I was posting pics while chatting. I am just waiting a bit more in case night divers show up :o)

Thanks for the sunsets, Martine

Wish I were at Gibi's with them. I remember that place with such fondness

Hello Heather

WOW !!!

My God, what's happening, I never saw that before !
I swear it is a true image.

See, Jenni saw it too !
Hi jenni, quite strange !

still like that, but not quite as bright



I got a shock too, Martine. What do you think it was/is?

Wierd, or what? Reckon those guys over there are OK?

Still remaining...

seems to be dissipating now. How unusual! I have never seen anything like that before.

Am falling asleep at my computer. Gotta go to bed. You take care of yourself, Martine, and good luck tomorrow.

Night Night

It's over now.
It's very weird Jenni. Maybe it was the last reflexion of the sun on the upper clouds, but to be franck, I never saw this that late after sunset. And noctiluscent clouds never turn red !
I am puzzled. And they all went to Gibi's, so they didn't even see it :o(
Jenni, maybe the night divers have quite powerful lights...

Nighty nite Jenni ! see you tomorrow.

The idea about the divers having powerful lights is plausible. Maybe they were testing them upwards before they entered the water.

Altogether a pretty amazing experience. Glad I saw it live - very exciting And glad you were here at the same time - to prove I am not crazy LOL

Nighty Night, Martine! See you for coffee

Fantastic sunsets Martine and Jenni Nighty night

OMG, this is a very crispy pic to say goodnight.
Venus is shining, dive is over... Ibet I'll habe a good sleep :o)
See you tomorrow for breakfast.
BONNE NUIT

Nighty nite Cynde :o)

Hello and Good night!

Great sunsets! Thank-you for the update Jake!

I am now going to bed, while I can! LOL!

19 adults and 3 kids all at Gibi's tonight!
It was good.

Wow Linda, is that a record?
Mary W

19 and 3kids - Fab! I bet you guys had a glorious time, and the food I bet was great
