Time for a new thread I believe. Here's some from the archives. Annie B.

That Bongo Cam is really great.

Just a few little guys now

Hi, John...gotta run now and study for my PADI final!

John. I like the Bongo cam too. In fact I like all the cam locations. Annie B.

Sarge again

Do they charge for the sunbeds on the beach, or are they free if you stay at the resort? Annie B.

Sailboat passing. Annie B.

Of course, I think that the hogfish is actually a wrasse? Too lazy to look right now. Maybe he was curling his lips to make them look more kissable for the cams? Okay, I think I'm starting to buy Babs' Spanish Hogfish - there does appear to be two stripes behind the eye, too.

I love the new cams!

I like the idea of a drive-thru window for Bongo's Beach Bar:

We didn't pay for the sunbeds Annie, nor were we staying at the resort. We did buy drinks from the bar, but there didn't seem like an obligation to do so.

Aw, please get me back there. I am SO snarled up with work, and exams, and moving house, and selling house and paperwork and.... and.... and .... I would just love to go out and have a dip

Jenni thanks. I like to know these things. Trev even likes the look of this place. Wonder what the rooms are like. Annie B.

Rusty. Since seeing the comparison pictures, I too am leaning towards hogfish.

Looking for a sign to hold up.

No - pick the OTHER one:

I bet that is Candace!!! Hi everyone just peeking in to see what is happeneing.. we are on our way out to a BBQ at Ken and Babsi's house... see ya later.. I dove today and I will try to make a dive report later..

So did I miss her holding one up? Or did she decide to go make her own?

Hey Freddie! You recognize everyone. Have fun - drink a fruity frosty one for me!

Peeking in again...Rusty, page 213 Humann Reef Fish Idenfication book Florida,Caribbean..looks like his sibling! They put wrasses and hogfishes into the same family... Here's a fun link with a reef fish quiz on the bottom..http://www.fishid.com/ keeps a running tally of your score through 10 quizzes..lets see who's an expert! (not me!)

I'm a little *rusty* on the fishes lately - I'm afraid to go look. It's going to take a little while to break out of gravestone carver mode.

Love the sunset just starting to throw gems on the ocean.

Is this odd shadow off the top of the ship the mast?

Jeez, I missed Jenni popping in for moment! Time for me to head downstairs and watch a movie or two - we bought the Lord of the Rings Trilogy on DVD.

Insane - but we have been waiting a long time for the entire set. We saw the first two at the movies with gift passes but held off on the third so we could buy them all and see it again and again. I was surprised that they pulled Saruman from the theatrical release - so this is better anyway.

Oh - I think Picasso has cleared this up for us:



Woddat?



Nice sky!



See you tomorrow. My proof may arrive tomorrow, too. Finally!

Hi Freddie, bye Freddie. Enjoy your BBQ.
Barb. I scored 50, which I suppose isn't bad for me considering. Got some learning to do I think. Annie B.

Someone is waving to us.

O.K. now it's gone..... no idea what it was.

Hey Michael! You got me there, it's either something very very close and tiny or far far away and pretty long.

Night!

Afternoon all! Great captures. Nice to see the signs made it to Bongo's I think that's Henk waving to us as well. Michael and Rusty, WEIRD shadow for sure!!!

Spent the whole day with Harbor Clean Up with the Coast Guard Auxiliary...LOTs of water balloons, cigarette butts, and lots of things too gross to mention! I headed the project for (part of my Marine Safety/Envirnomental Protection duty), and it went off well. We had two vessels (boats), one dinghy, and a PWC...along with some walking the docks with nets...

Fish flurry!

Off to take a shower and grab a beer! Do we know what kind of fish this school is that hangs around the wreck? Dan...Jake???

Hi Cynde. Was wondering where you had gotten to. Annie B.

More people are noticing the web cam. Annie B.

Hello there, nice to see you.

'nother break here...rather be studying in this spot

Keep trying on that quiz Annie, you'll get better!

Ha, too relaxed to stand up with the signs I guess! LOL

I think these two are there for the duration Barb. LOL. Yes. I will study the fish more. Annie B.

You have to come a little closer to the cam with the sign.

Good Evening!! Great pics today! Those two guys are funny!!

I hope everyone had a great day today!

Congratulations and Good Luck Jenni!!!

Funny guys with the signs....I like the idea of sitting in a chair having a bright waiting for the capture! (I wonder if they are enjoying the "peace and quiet") LOL!

Barbara, you will do great
I like this, odd..

Thanks, Eileen

Been a crazy day. Working loads [trying to earn some money before I go away] and had to nip up to the house to let the plasterer measure up. Some walls are artexed and I don't like it. I want smooth walls! and then more work, and then panic cos I couldn't find the flip chart papers for my teach [for the exam]. Cried, and shouted. Have now found them and calmed down. And decided I need to go to my bed.

Asyou can see, Annie, I liked it too I didn't realise till I saw yours that I also caught a sailboat. LOL

Is hot and clammy up here. Same down there, Annie? Or is it me flapping and panicking? LOL Or merely being a woman of a certain age LOLx2

Well that's it for another day, so I am off to bed now. I hope you all had a good day. The cams have certainly been very entertaining, and I am finding them even more addictive than before. Annie B.

Sweet dreams everyone.

Good night all! Thanks for the encouragement Cynde! It's getting more nervewracking as I approach the open water dives - YIKES- next weekend! Jenni, I can identify with the stress...I'm trying not to get too anxious!
Hope to see you all tomorrow but I'm back to work so may be late!

The friendly man waving in the 17:12:06 capture was Henk, the owner of Bongo's.

I believe the young man in the green shirt in the 19:20:06 capture to be Hanz, a young bartender.

fab flic, Annie. Thanks

Go sock it to 'em, Barbara

I'll sit with you Cynde and have a bright with ya

Night Night Everyone

Barbara, Relax and remember, one fin kick at a time. You WILL do fine.

Jenni. It was quite warm down here today too, so maybe you weren't having a senior moment, just a panic attack. LOL. Calm down gal.

Barbara. You are gonna do just great, I just know you are.

Tom. Thanks for the id. It's great to know who everyone is. I think I will have to make a people identity folder.

Now I just simply could not resist doing this one. Thanks for the entertainment you guys. Annie B.

Just one more peek in! Thanks Tom, Annie and Jenni!...Yup, one fin at a time Tom ! Love that last flicky Annie!

Annie, GREAT flicky pic! I love the tipping of the bright!!! These guys had fun with it, and that's what it's all about!

I love the flickies Annie B!! Barbara, you'll do great!! When Joel and I did our open water dives, we sort of competed with each other, eg. who took the wet belt on and off the fastest! Everyone laughed at us. A couple of our open water dives were done in 0 viz.

Late visitor

Great captures, everyone! I disappeared for a while and came back to enjoy the captures of the day!! Nice work, guys!!

I wonder if that unknown object by the wreck was Satchmo's cousin?? Dan had mentioned there was a trumpet fish close by the wreck when they were down there the other day...maybe he came over to check out the action like everyone else is doing?

Hi Henk!! Boy...his social life will definitely pick up now....IF he is available, that is!! LOL. All of the single ladies will be sitting on his barstools like crazy now...go Henk!!

Annie...how do you put the stills into motion? I know you told me once before but I'm at the age where I forget what I was even asking....LOL.

Boy...I don't know whether the new cams are helping my PBD right now or making it worse.....they ARE great, tho!! Thanks again, to everyone involved technically, financially and with emotional and good ole' support!!

Dan, are these the illuminations you were talking about in the water where the cam is set up??

Ayo. Carole

Carole. I went to bed and then had to come back downstairs because I had a fit of the giggles over my last animation. I am stiLL lmao over it. Weren't those guys just fantastic.

I have animation shop 3, and that programme does it all for me. Since I had the XP computer though, I find I can save more pictures to animate. BTW, what do they look like on all the other monitors for those that don't have XP. Do they look ok, or are they rubbish. Sometimes I don't have a clue as to what I am posting. Senior moments or what. LOL.

It ain't always the single gals that take a liking to Henk either. Phew! what a guy.

I wonder if Henk and Co, look at these threads now that they have the cams on their property.

Annie B.

Who can this be? LOL

Gee, busy late tonight!

A regular crowd out there!

Hi, Annette! They look terrific!! Love your animations to pieces! I don't have that software, so I guess I can't do it. I do now have Adobe Photoshop 6, I think, so maybe I can play with things over there....also have ACD See, which I LOVE when it comes to editing digital pics, too. Plus the regular stuff which came with the PC ...windows stuff.

Yes, it certainly IS active at the BBC tonite! Looks like business is picking up at Bongo's already...hope it does at Eden Beach and Wanna Dive, too. Great folks to let us have the cams on their property.....smart business decision, of this I am certain! Sweet dreams, everyone! CArole

Carole - PS6? Did it come with ImageReady? That's where I've been animating stuff lately. It'sot a little learning curve but it compresses the images pretty good so you can post them.
