Good morning Torsten and Jos,

this day is going to be a very warm day.
30°C (86°F).
And after our company meeting in the evening we are going to have a great BBQ.
(Our boss is becoming the grill master )
What a day. TGIF.

Good Morning Torsten, Jos and Ilona and to everyone else coming later! Today is Joel's last day of work before holidays so he worked late at home last night and going in early today.

I'll have tea for later. I am back to bed. Have a great Friday!

Goodmorning Ilona ,

funny , finally summer has arrived and all I hear is moaning about the high temperatures
( not that you are moaning;-))

It is a comfy 25 degrees in my office with ARKO and fan on .
Outside , where the real work is don , it is 32 degrees in the shade ! ( you Fahrenheit peoples will work it out for yourself , right?)

Oooh , I can smell the weekend , so close already !!!

sjoss

Eileen , back to bed ?? Are you ill???

You have changed , I recall somebody being up very early to go to work and things like that . What happened ( evil grin).

Holidays , wow , would love some of those , I would know a place to spend them too :

Welcome Rick & Janet!
Hi Eileen , Bye Eileen

Light but no fish

4got 2 mention: great captures of the BT-gang yesterday. I agree: Alison should come over 2 the dark side and create a profile on BT with her reefcam-pose as her picture! Hmmm, maybe Barbara wouldn't like it if her daughter is checking out what she is chatting about over here

Hi Igor. I agree Alison should join us "old" folks on BT.

Jos, Yes indeed your son should be there with you, forgive me, my ignorance. When are you going to include him in your profile pic?

Yes, I like this weather too.

first fish....

Hi everyone. 28 degrees here today, but it feels more like 38 in my garden. Annie B.



Same the divers didn't come closer.

G'morning all

Could someone tell me the depth of the webcam?

Marty. I believe the reef cam is about 60 ft. down. Annie B.

Family gathering at Bongo's

Good day to you all!! Also very hot summer temps over here! But I like it, only bad thing is I'd rather be lying on the beach then sitting behind my desk...
Hi fishie:


Morning party; Good morning to you all! Wish I was there (30 days to go)


Marty, the depth of the webcam is about 60 ft (20m)

I think that is Kathy and Larry in the 8.28 shot. Annie B.

LOL, Annie! You beat me to answering the question

Hi Diana. GMTA. I would rather be on the beach too. Annie B.

Showing some tail


I think I will leave for home in about an hour. This evening we have a gathering of our Spain group to watch the photo's and think back to the wonderful horse week And maybe planning our next trip!!

Good morning all... it is COLD here!!! 17C Burrr.. sweatshirt weather for sure...
just a gentle reminder about the .gifs not being allowed on this thread.. However Community Chat LOVES them!!!

Hi Everyone!!!
Freddie you make a great cam cop!!!! Much gentler than the others!!LOL!!!
Cooler her today on the sunny south - supposed to be a high of 80 degrees!!! More like the weather we should have had in May than what we normally have in August. Its the same front that is making Freddie shiver up north!!!
Welcome JANET and RICK!!!
Janet great job on posting your first pic yesterday!!!!
I definitely would rather be on that beach than here at work!!! Still going through the pics - and then I really want to just drop everything and go back!!!

This guy needs to learn to smile when he is in front of the cam!!!LOL!!!

Freddie. I sure wish I could send you some of our nice hot weather. My garden thermometer is reading 80 in the shade. Annie B.

I'm going home... to hot for work and I'm finished for this week anyway

Mary, sounds PBD is still in the first stage!

Have a nice day all!!

Bye Diana. Hope you have a lovely weekend. Annie B.

Good Morning / Afternoon All!!

Bill

Morning all...Mary...I guess I better work on being a "gentler and kinder Barney Fife" I found a website with all sorts of Fife stuff and "Fifisms" Ordered magnets and a mug...Citizen's Arrest! They even have a "coffee table book." As all the other cam cops are on vacation sept me, ya'll beHAVE now!!! (say it like Austin Powers)

Morning Cynde - knew you would respond to my cam cops comment!!! LOL!! I think the guys like it when you are little rough with them!!!
Can't wait to see the pics of the magnets and mugs and coffee table book!!!LOL!!!

Speaking of profile pics - need to pic out a good one from this trip to put on mine!! I know its about time a put a picture on my profile - I just never had the right one!!! I will ask Kelly which one I should use!!!

Fish tail!!!

Mary, I think you need one of you in the "bathing cap" or the one of you "mooning the cam" LOL! This site even has mouse pads...I had to control myself and say "Do I REALLY need that??" I plan on putting the magnets up the file cabinet at work by my desk...

Yes, I would rather be on Annie's beach bed right now!

Hi Again!!

Have trouble making decisions???

Then flip a fish!!



Heads..... or Tails LOL

Bill

Good morning all.

Hi Bill and John!!!

Annie & Dianne

Thanks so much for your response. I am trying to convince my daughter to accompany me to Bonaire in May and have her do the OW certification course. She took a resort type course in college a few years ago and was initially enthused but was not impressed with the instructors. I am certain she would just love Bonaire, with the exception of being with her "old man". Thanks again for the info.
Thanks again!!

Marty

fish splatter...



Jossss....blonde alert!!!!

Cynde - I have been wondering if she was topless or not!!!LOL!!!!

Mary, We have been pondering on posting that for ages. LMHO. Nice work with the red cross Dilly. Annie B.

Marty. That would be great for your daughter to achieve her certification on Bon. I hope she decides to go with you. Keep us informed. Annie B.

Meant to post this one earlier.

from the archives....

watch out for my big fat belly




sarge from the side...gee he looks so much skinner!

Hi everyone! This is probably my last check in from Bonaire this trip....a no dive day for us as we fly out early but you may see us at the Bongo's dinner tonight...the best barbecue on the island! Alison has been advised of the request for her own profile and is hmmmm thinking about it...I think she thinks I chat too much! LOL

Hey Barbara! Have a great time tonight and say hi to us on the "other side!" Have a safe trip back

Ready for a dive...

Looks like contemplating diving!!!
But no!!! The wheelbarrow was left!!!

Mary, they are teasing us by leaving that gear just sitting there...waaaaa!!!

Dilly - that is what I initially thought until I saw the stuff just left there!!!LOL!!

Barbara - have a great time tonight!!! Can't wait to see the pics - I will email you some of mine!!!!

No kidding!!!! It is cool how they have the wheelbarrows to move your stuff around!!! Kelly and I really got a kick out of using them!!!

Mary, did you two have your "bathing caps" on while wheeling around your gear? LOL! Now THAT would make a great picture

You had me choking on a piece chocolate with that thought!!!!

Sorry we waited to put them on when we were on the dock - too hot wear them around!!!! Who knows what kind of comments we would have gotten.

It still think that little girl who first noticed us - is still talking about it. It was her father that made the comment after she whispered to him while she was pointing at us!!! They really must think that Americans are a bit touched in the head!!!

Mary, you should have also told them that it was what ALL the fashionable divers were wearing these days in the "States." Or well, maybe not! LOL!

(Message edited by bluetang on August 6, 2004)

BTW Dilly - I like your profile pic - that looks like a Dilly!!!LOL!!!!

Thanks Mary, I'm trying to "cut back" you know...dogs liver and all

Good Afternoon / Evening, All

Dilly - Love your "Doctored" photo...LOL
Didn't realise you were into pirate treasure maps.....

X marks the spot(s)????

ROFL

Sorry - couldn't resist!!!

Looks like they weren't talking to one another.....



Hope the one remaining isn't still trying to carry on a conversation!!

Oh - Elvira - It's on the way!!!

Bill

Hey ST (Superturtle)...hee hee..."Crikey, shiver me timbers...me lost me treasure map!" LOL!

ROFLMAO !!!

So, Dilly.......

Would that make it .......

A "Treasure Chest"????

or

"Sunken Treasure"

Oh heck..... way too funny!!!

Bill

Well, after all that fun and frivolity, I better run

Mrs. Turtle took up one of those new, extreme sports yesterday......

Stair Diving!!

..... and she won first prize - a BIG, Purple ankle!!

So..... guess who gets to do all the cooking, cleaning, etc, etc???

Yup - and I'm loving it!!!

The rewards are fantastic!!

Take care, all, and see you tomolly!!

Bill

ST, RTOFLMAO!

Hello everyone.
