Good Morning Torsten and Stan! And to everyone!

Good (actually great) news - Quinn had his first official full night of sleep! Joel is so happy he could sleep through the night too. Bad news, I have been fighting and losing the battle with a chest cold I have picked up. I really hope Quinn does not get it, I am sure he will.

I am waiting for the sunrise!

John, congrats on getting your membership upgraded! Kathy, congrats on 10 years!

Dawn has started.

Hi everyone. Martine should have her feet firmly on British soil by now, and on her way to Milton Keynes. She sends hugs to everyone. We had one heavy shower already. Same weather different day.

Eileen. It's good to hear that Quinn slept all through the night, but am sorry to hear about you're cold. Better go buy those fresh lemons eh. Annie B.

Early morning blues.

Good Morning Annie B! I am shopping today for cold remedy things. I am excited for you both!

Torsten, thanks for the coffee!
Eileen, hope you feel better soon. It makes a big difference when the babies start sleeping all night.
Stan, have fun with the guys this weekend.
Looks like a beautiful morning on Bonaire.

Good Morning Lisa! Thank-you, the person who felt it make the biggest difference is my husband LOL! (He always gets up with me in the night, he does the diaper, I do the feeding).

This is nice!!

Early morning Sarge.

Time for the puter to go. Hopefully, I can watch sunsets tonight. Joel has had late nights at work. The peek season for his work is starting now. I wish you all a great Friday and a great weekend for those going away! Bye for now!

tail to tail

LOL Torsten.

look closely to this one. What am I seeing (end of the wreck, almost at the top.

Good morning! Is anyone going to see Open Water (the movie) this weekend? All my non diving friends now have a new reason to think I'm nuts for diving. I may have to go see it, since they all are.

fish in a hurry are blurry

Whatever this is!

Maybe it was this one

kathy, he was around the reefcam for a while

Hi Stan, I'm in and out getting ready for work, so it seems all I see is fish parts. lol

Hope ya'll catch some good ones today!

the only thing I can catch right now is the first human visitor this day:

Good Morning / Afternoon, Everyone!!

I can't tell if this guy is fixing the palm tree, or the lounge chair .......


Yippee - it's Friday, and we're off to the boat until late Monday!! And the weather forecast?? Rain today and tonight, cold tonight and Saturday and finally warming up late Monday It figures!!

Have a great day all!! I have some Tim Horton's coffee ready for you!!

Bill

aha good morning Bill.
I think he is fixing the sand?
mmm, bad joke.

Here are early visitors.



I am signing off too: sailing (although the weather is really bad!!)

Have a great weekend, Stan - hope the weather improves for you!!

Bill

Good morning.

Starbucks coffee for all.

This weekend the Atlanta Reef Dwellers are having the annual clean up at Lake Lanier. We never know what we will find diving Cocktail Cove. Being next to the golf course, the golf ball haul should be pretty good.

Hello everyone!!!
John - I remember swimming and trying to learn how to waterski in Lake Lanier - I have an uncle that live right on the lake!!! Have fun retrieving golf balls - does the pro shop pay you for them?

Found these guys in the archives - looks like they are off to the beach!!!

Sarge!!

Yummmmmmmmmm...Tim Horton's donuts!

Say what you want about Krispy Kremes. Tim Horton's donuts are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better!

Sally. We have a Krispy Kreme place opened up over here. I don't like them at all. Annie B.

Cams are very quiet today. NOthing to post. Maybe later.

Annie B:

Krispy Kremes don't thrill me at all...and I just love donuts!

'tis rainy and blustery here in Indiana...how are things where you are?

Hi, Sally

I agree!! Krispy Kremes are way too sweet - even for my sweet tooth!!

Annie - you're right - only empty wreck and empty beach right now

Oh well..... maybe in a little bit things will pick up again

Bill

Awwwwww.....

Ain't Love GRAND!!!! .....



Bill

Hi Sally, Bill and Annie!!! Nice to know that I am not alone in my dislike for Krispy Kremes!!! Too sweet and greasy for me - Everyone around here looks at me like I am nuts when I won't eat one!!LOL!! You know they were born in NC!!!

HOT and very HUMID today here in NC!!! A day to spend in the cooling comforts of stale airconditioned air!!!LOL!!

I would love it if Annie's queen angel would visit us again!!!!

Hi, Mary
You're right - it would be great to see the Queen again!! Those were 2 great captures by Annie this morning / Afternoon

It has been overcast here all morning - the weather guessers are calling for rain, and then much cooler temperatures for the weekend - but I'm hoping at least the rain might miss us!!

Bill

Sally. Today has been a real mixture. Warm and sunny one minute, then dull and rainy the next with some thunder.

Mary. I keep wondering if the angel will show again too. Annie B.

The beach is empty. We have the pick of the chairs today.

Well
Here ya go, Ladies!! Beefcake Time!!


Bill

Hahahaha Bill, and such an elegant pose too. Annie B.

For Sure, Annie!!

and finally - a fish!!



I had better scoot for a while - things to do outside.

See you all later!!

Bill

Someone passing through.

Fins to the left

Divers

Maybe they'll stir up some fish!

and here's the rest of them

Whoops on the double!

GMTA Kathy!!! LOL!

It's been so quiet today that was bound to happen.

(Message edited by turtlefan on August 20, 2004)

That's what I was just noticing - the fish have been hiding today, it seems! Well, also seems the cams are skipping transmissions again...phooey. Headed back to the office so I'll check later.

Bye Kathy!! Lunchtime for me. Air and Water show going on here this weekend, I'm going to go outside to see if the Blue Angels practice again today.

They're leaving too

Well, here's one!



Who's T-Bone???

Sally. It's the same couple who appeared before Bongo's cam yesterday with the same sign I think. Annie B.

Cam cleaning?

Thank you mystery cam cleaner!!

More divers. Annie B.

Sure do wish I was holding the T-Bone sign at the reef-cam right now. Counting the days till the 15th of next!! I think there is a problem with the temp for the reef cam does anyone know forsure? Jake used to make those repairs all the time. We really miss you Jake!! Well enough of my petty complaints I hope everyone has a great day and a better tomorrow. Going camping tomorrow and Sunday quarry diving where the viz is 10/15 feet. :-( Wet is better then dry I guess.

Woa! Picasso's undercarriage.

jack in the dark

Annie, interesting shot on picasso's underbelly. So often fish look like birds, as he does there!

Start of sunset and tonight's beach babies.

The sunset goes to pinks and blues, and the kids sandcastle will likely be trampled by the Bongo's party tonight. See the chef with his bbq apron on looking over at them? lol

Now the blues and purples come out, and the party's started.

I can hardly keep my eyes open Kathy. Will you see that movie you mentioned earlier. I want to get my hands on it to watch. Annie B.

Great captures everyone! Annie, stay awake for the sunsets gal You on IM?

Hi Annie, I think I'll HAVE to watch it. It's all my coworkers and family can talk about to me. It's like they've found proof we're nuts for diving. lol It worries me that in the incident the movie is based on, the couple from LA diving the great barrier reef do end up being eaten by sharks after being left behind. I'm not afraid of regular sharks, but great whites, YES! lol I guess I have to see it to be able to defend diving, particularly with sharks (as we do often).

Love the pier lights:

Kathy, check out this thread in CC on the subject, and the links posted...

Open Water

Thanks Dilly, I will!
Pink water again tonight, and the sandcastle still stands.

Really getting some nice color on the Bongo's cam as the season changes, or, in Bonaire, maybe not a season change so much as the position of the sun...

Going to read CC on Open Water. Will check later to see what happened this beautiful night in Bon.

Wow, that was informative, so they're making the movie but putting it in the Bahamas. Hmmm. Anyone seen my Bahamas page? lol My coworkers have.

Wild eyes:

Kathy, the interesting part as well, is there was no proof that they encountered sharks...that's Hollywood for ya!...My co-workers were giving me a hard time earlier this week, but I set them straight about sharkies and divers

Kathy. I haven't heard about scuba divers being eaten by sharks. I have seen many news reports of surfers, snorklers and swimmers being attacked though. The seem to think that they are seals. I will watch the movie 'cos I am a land lubber. LOL. Annie B.

The party is really swinging. Annie B.

I am off to bed now. I have a busy day tomorrow, but will pop in here from time to time. Annie B.

Sweet dreams everyone.

Thanks for the flickie, Annie. Can't wait to see you and Martine in that pic you ARE going to post. lol

Hot tub time, here. : )

Last look:
