Good Morning Everyone, It's Saturday and I had a great night of sleep! Quinn slept through the night!
I hope all is well with everyone!

good morning eileen! good for you that you had a good sleep! i did too, in my own bed again after a week on camp with 20 mentally handicapped people. Some wake up during the night and need some attention, so I know how you feel with Quinn!
No early visitors at the beach nor reef for now.

Good morning Karin and Eileen, brunch is ready, what would you like?

Good Morning Julia and Karin! Hmmm, I just ate but Joel has a big list that he would like for brunch LOL!

Karin, I am glad that you had a great sleep too, and wow, what a wonderful job you did!

it was a great weak, Eileen, very rewarding. It was my 13th camp week, so lots of routine!
early swimmer?

Hi everyone. Eileen. 'Tis good that Quinn slept right through the night.

Karin. That is a big responsibility looking after the handicapped on a camping trip, but did you enjoy the week. I used to love camping years ago.

Julia. You made me feel hungry now. We just had a huge downpour here, but now the sun is shining again. Annie B.

Sarge was up early.

Karin. You answered my question while I was still posting it. LOL. Annie B.

Good morning all,

Nice weather here, looks great.

Have some Starbucks coffee. It is from Sumatra and called that. It has a bold taste.

Start eating home grown tomatoes this week. They are so good.

Have you noticed the boat this morning, there is a current from the North. Also when there is a current like that, we do not see the bait fish on the wreck.

Thanks for the coffee John. My parent's tomatoes are doing poorly so far, poor summer here so far.

Good Morning Annie B, the cleaning of Quinn's eye with the salt/water is easing the oozing.

Sarge!

I am now going to my stuff for the day, groceries, outside work etc. I wish everyone a good morning! See you in awhile.

Holey Moley....I just realized it's really July and we fly in 17 days. Digging out the gear now. Begin over planning ASAP

Sarge looks a bit grumpy today.

Wally and Eva - are you guys going to bring full wetsuits? The water temp seems so warm, but I see all these people in full wetsuits! A shorty maybe? I can't even see the need for that! And the luggage space it will take up if we bring all that! groan They always act like our scuba gear is a weapons cache in Atlanta. They totally unpacked the case on the trip to Bahamas!

We leave in 20 days (out of Atlanta, Air Jamaica). It IS approching quickly!

We are carrying a skin and a 3mm shorty (Eva's is new and still 3mm, mine is about 10 years old and a little flat).

Morning all... Ooh, to be going diving someplace in 20 days, the only place I've been since Bonaire is the rock quarry...I hope you have a great time Wally and Eva..
Eileen, how is lil Quinn doing? I'll be he's getting big.

I'd like to be - under the sea:



Good morning, buddies! Gorgeous day in New England today - our tomatoes are nowhere near ready for eating but are having, knock wood, the best year ever this season. Peppers, squash, cukes are all going great guns.

Sure wish I could read these signs!

And I'm off to catch up on the other threads - and onto chat... see ya there.

I wish someone would change the sign that says to stay at least 10 feet away from the cams for the best result!! it should also state that if you have signage you should put it as close as you can, like maybe 12 inches away so the folks at home can read what it says...
rant mode off....
Hi everyone, beautiful day in this neighborhood as well... Rusty the Zuccs are taking over our garden.. They hide under the leaves and I swear make sure that they are not seen until they are HUGE and have to be made into Zucchini Bread....

Oh Rusty. What a shame we couldn't read the sign. Thanks for posting the pictures. I agree with Freddie. Get closer to the cam with the signs everyone. Annie B.

Rusty throwing kisses and waving frantically! LOL Hi Freddie! Hi Annie! I was out back taking shots of BoxerBob's pond - the first lotus of the season is about to open. There's also a waterlily and some woodfrogs basking. They'll be taking off for the woods soon and I won't see them again til next year when they return to breed.

I take pictures til the camera goes beep-beep. I'm still using batteries. I get them - 48 AA - at Costco. They are store brand but I got it on the hush-hush that they are shipped from Duracell. The Duracells run about $11 for 28.

I like this shot! I swear that's Annie!

Forgot to mention that the Costco house brand of batteries are $10 for 48 AA. Deal.

Off to Chat for a few...

Morning all! Nice captures everyone! Freddie, folks are going to have to get used to the new cams, and definitely get CLOSER so we can read your great signs!!!

Wally, Eva...NOT JEALOUS...really!

Kathy, I am a whimp...I wear a skin and full 3mm! It really depends on the individual as to how much neoprene (or not) you wear. My husband wears a t-shirt and shorts and is HOT! Have a great trip!

Michael is making eggs benedict this morning, then we are off to the beach for the day!

This guy has been slumped over like this for at least 10 minutes...maybe he is catching his breath!

Good Afternoon Everyone, just popping in. We have a beautiful day, so I am back outside. Not too hot for me.

Brittany, yes Quinn is getting big, long is more like it!!!

Now I am outside!

Rusty. I wish that was me on that sunbed. We've had nothing but torrential rain on and off all day. Annie B.


Some fishy pics for you





Off out soon to my friend's house for the evening.

Good pics Annie! Here's sarge again He must live on the boat

Hello! Yoohoo! I'm back and look who's been here in my absence! Fishies and Friends.

12:12 looks like a snapper? Mahogany with that stripe on the caudal? 11:42 looks like a guppy!

Cynde - I *love* Eggs Benedict - will be right over for brunch and some beach time!

What a perfectly gorgeous day on Bonaire! So who ordered lunch?

Karin! Bless your soul for taking on a tough job like that. The rewards must be worthwhile, though. You are making so many people happy!

Great blues:

I was waiting for these guyz to hang around for a better shot - but this is it - the headless divers;



Great fish pix today - looks like a damsel in this one:



And a few more nice ones:

It's funny but we can see some yellows in the wetsuits and sergeant majors and PINK seems to jump right out - *if* that's pink and not another color being twisted by the light at that depth.

My suggestion to Kelly and Mary (MM) WEAR PINK!

Fish from the archives.

Ooops, my Brain did something there...

Yoohoo! I am round my friends place showing her the new cam views. Annie B.

Found this one right back in the archives.

Whoops. Here's the picture, I hope.......

Annie B, I think I am having the same problem...

Let's see.

one thing that is bad is that believe it or not while we were there the current at times was bad in front of the webcams . Jake talked about getting rebar I think for people to hang onto during the times for when the current was bad.

Look at the sailboats. No current.

We can see the baitfish again at the wreck.

Nice selection of captures, today, guys! Thanks for posting them all.

Here's one with the sun gone and just a hint of light in the sky....so pretty...wish I were still down there...don't we all! LOL.

Carole

Eileen. I am glad that I wasn't the only one having problems posting. I am back home now, and I am ever more determined to post this couple appearing before Bongo's cam. Annie B.

Here's a couple which got missed too. Annie B.

This guy looks worried. I would be worried too if I was on Bon. Worried for when I had to go home. LOL. Annie B.

Hi - Annie - just now had time to log on - busy trying to get everything packed!!!

Do not know if I am sleeping tonight - need to leave for the airport at 3:00 - flight leaves at 5.45!!!

Love these night lights!!!

Hiya Mary. My guess is that you will not sleep tonight. When you board the plane, ask for a pillow, my guess is that you will sleep on the flight. I can't wait to see you on the other side. Annie B.

More from Bongo's

Ahaha! A little mistake there, but I don't think the guys will mind that one. LOL. Annie B.

Beautiful sunset.

Yippie, Skippie !!!
My 'puter is finally fixed...after 8 months! I have a 7 year-old Win 95
laptop (166MMX / 128 RAM). Trust me. I'm NOT a doctor
Obtaining the parts was not a pretty sight!!

My beloved Mac (6220 Performa/75 Mhz/& topped out at 64 Mb RAM) is no longer
"Internet Friendly!"

The Internet Provider I use (rhymes with Fox) told me that Win 95 is no longer
compatible with the Internet...NOT !!

Aunt Blabby!

huh oh...may have probs after allCrash 'n Burn!!

Here is the odd thing: I tested my laptop at work, using the campus connection, which runs over the rhymes with Fox backbone...and it worked flawlessly. At home it crashes and burns...hummmm

LMAO Aunt Blabby. You speak in a foreign tongue to me. But am flippin' glad that you are here with us. Annie B.

Hello and Good Evening! Annie B, I do not know what happened when I was posting today. Beautiful Flicky!

Have a safe flight Mary! See you on the cams!

Good Night everyone.

Rats...The above required 4 shutdown's PC & MODEM) to enable I'net access & run again. I will take this to work on Monday & keep it online all day just to show 'em!

Bye, bye 'til Monday!

Grrrrlz - are you getting partway uploaded and then the page kicks the bucket and says page not found?

It was driving me flippin' bonkers. (As Annie B might say!)
