Looks like we'll have some loooong threads with all the excitement over the new cams

Good idea, Barb...I just posted the same shot on the "old" one! LOL. Carole

All alone under the palm tree.....I'll do it and suffer, too! LOL. Must be overcast today...everything seems to be in the shadows a bit...that's OK...a little cloud cover is welcomed when you are in that sunny heat all day long! I know I like a cloud flying by once in a while when I am on Bonaire! LOL. Carole

Carole...any idea what might keep a teen occupied on Bon? We're leaving in 3 weeks and I'm trying to be sure my 14 yo is having fun too!

We don't have any kids so I'm not certain how you would keep a 14 year old entertained other than the water is wonderful, lots of snorkeling, checking out the iguanas (gently!) and the birds, etc. The Park is a great place to explore in the car/truck with the folks and you can get out and hit some of the water spots or explore some of the the trails and land critters, too.

Donkey Sanctuary is a great place to visit...bring LOTS of apples or carrots if you can and Marina will help you cut them up and you can hand feed it to the sweet donkeys. They are soooo gentle...you will never even know they have teeth...soft lips will take the treats from your hands. Just watch your feet, especially if you have sandals on....they get excited and don't realize they might step on your toes/feet.

I know others will jump in here to help you out....How about Caren and her water program for kids? There is info about her on other threads in here. Might be something fun! Carole


Looks like someone is at Bongo's having fun! Should be fun for us if the soccer/football matches are on tv at the bar and lots of folks watch them. I know it was THE thing to be doing while we were still there and Holland was still playing in the semi finals. Everyone in town was wearing huge orange foam hats and t shirts all over the place! They were all having fun downtown on the waterfront under the tents and at City (Cyber) Cafe cb

Barbara, WooHoo! 6 Grand!!

Happy 4th of july to the USA folks!!
I've been diving in colder water again and after that... fall asleep on the couch.

Divers:

our first sign underwater on the new cam!!!


We're off to the boat, have a great day everyone!

Could this already be one of the divers from the beach?

I wonder if this is Karen and Rog...I dove small wall with them last July Fourth, and we had little flags we waved underwater at the reefcam....

Hi Cynde, have a great day!!

Hey Diana!

Maybe if we take a look at the larger one in from the beach, we can see if it are Karen and Roger

Hi Cynde and Diana!

I wonder what the sign says?

More divers!

Hi Eileen! Yes, it's a bit difficult to read.

Come in a little closer!

From the larger view of Cynde, it ends with YOU!

My bet is that it is Karen and Rog I'm out of here!

Have fun, Cynde!

Long time no see everyone! Looks like ive missed a lot..NEW CAMS!!!!!

mmmm..that would be nice today....

Long time no see everyone! Looks like ive missed a lot..NEW CAMS!!!!!

Carole, thanks for the info...I have contacted Marina and she will let Alison help out with the donkeys, feeding, cleaning, etc (works for her, she's a horse girl) and just visited the other site you suggested!
Yeah, Eileen, just 4000 to go to be a deity...LOL, that'll take me a year since our work computers are all locked up now!
Looks like our divers are out of the water

Anyone recognize them? Roger and Karen?

Some from the archives.

Fishy!

Hi Brittany!

Greece 1, Portugal 0.

Whoops. I meant to say Hi Brittany.

Lots of great activity, today! I'm having a lot of fun just watching everyone have fun! LOL.

Barb, that sounds like a great idea...working with Marina at the Sanctuary! Wow...that's terrific! She'll love that. There are a couple of young kids with her right now as the other lady left recently due to a serious illness...back to Holland.

Your daughter will not be in "want" of things to do...there is so much to do on Bonaire ...even for a 14 year old young lady! Have a great time!! Where will you be staying??

CArole

Wow, here's a nice pair

Hey, triples....should have refreshed there!
Carole, we'll be at Lions Dive...part of a package...disappointed to hear that the snorkeling isn't so good there in a trip report today!

Greece won the Euro Cup.

Got a fright when this one popped up. LOL. Annie B.

Just for Katie ... how do you like this one ??
Theý just look nastier than they really are ..



He hasn't been seen around the new spot, so that must be quite safe ..

Olaf - EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! You scared me! Candy-gram! (Don't open the door, Katie!)

Evening gathering of fishes too

This is pretty.

Any plans for tonight for July 4th celebrations?

I'm going to sleep.
Have a great evening all!

The fun just begins at the bar

Good Night Diana!!

Pretty as a picture:





No plans - too lazy to drive down the hill for the fireworks. The dawgs don't like the noise, anyway so I'll hang out here with them and tell them everything is okay. Over and over and over.

It's a lovely evening for a stroll along the water's edge. Went to watch a movie, but fell asleep instead. Olaf, that one will give me nightmares. LOL. Annie B.

Great capture, Annette!

Olaf...too real looking for my liking! LOL. Don't worry Katie...he won't be there.

Barb...head on down to the Divi beach, too...great, great snorkeling there...just act like you belong there and don't attract too much attention and it should be OK. We get upset when folks come over and are loud and obnoxious and use up the chairs and come in hordes (weekends, mostly). I know Gregg gets upset, too! LOL. The reef there is absolutely fabulous for snorkeling.

Renee can take you there on part of her guided tour. She can also take you to the Town Pier as she is a guide...that is fascinating over there!! Do that positively, if you can, OK?

Here are two shots from a moment ago....peaceful...I have PBD soooo bad!!!! Carole

Carole. It looks like that there is everything that a person would need at Eden Beach. Sun, see, sand, food and the bar. I enjoyed reading your posts. Looks like there is loads to do on Bon. Annie B.

I have to go to bed now, so see you all tomorrow.
Sweet dreams everyone.

Just gotta post this one first though. LOL. Night night. Annie B.

Are there lights under the dock in the south beach cam, or am I seeing night divers? Cool blue glow coming from under there, whatever...

Faith

Nice captures everyone! Been busy putting together a fruit tray and beef shishkabobs for a barbecue tonight before fireworks!
Pretty flicky Annie, thanks for the tips for our trip Carole!

We have some late BTer's at the cam.

How long till we can name the fish?
I DO miss Charlotte.....

Hey, Meryl! We've been missing you, too...puter still on the fritz? Email still coming back....

Why can't we start naming them now? (the fish).

Nite, Annie!

Hi, Faith...not certain what the blue is...that would be neat, tho, watching divers at night on the cams. Ayo. Carole

Could be reflections from the overhead lights, maybe?? Carole

My guess would be glare from the infrared illuminators in the camera. First time we're seeing what they look like.

I'm Home!!! Quiet, cool and reasonable humidity. Some things I really like about New England in the summer.

hey that is Seb and Mary at 20:54!!!!!! Hi Seb, Hi Mary!!!!!!!!!
Glad you made it home safely Dan.. Thanks for all your hard work with the Cams!!! You did a great job!

HI Seb and Mary! You are there we are not!
Thanks for the ID Freddie

Dan, welcome home. Thanks for all the work you done to entertain us!

(Jumping up and down, waving) Hi Seb! Hi Mary! It's so cool that you made it for the camera's inaugural weekend! Woohoo!

Thanks again, Dan...terrific job...we truly do appreciate your hard work and dedication. Relax and enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend in New England! Nice legs!!! LOL.

Hi, Seb and Mary! Boy, you must have been tired when you were at the cams...long travel day for you guys....you look great!! Ayo. Carole

Computer is up and running....email too! It is so nice to see the cams again...and I think we have a great view! Lots of critters to name....
