Hi to everyone who may pop in here today. Looks like Bonaire is off to a wet start to the day. Annie B.

Good Morning Annie B! We have a sunny but cool morning today!

Someone is contemplating the weather I think. Annie B.

No fishies yet. We had a BBQ at a neighbours last night. Today the boys are going out golfing and the ladies are going to have another BBQ!! I hope to do some shopping later on in the morning too.

Here's one! Good morning.

Hi Eileen. I hope you enjoy you're ladies day today. I just got back from shopping, and also an eye test. Martine just phoned me to confirm tomorrow's meet. She will be performing her presentation right now. She has the most wonderful voice. I can't wait to see her in person. Annie B.

Whoops! Hi Kathy. Didn't see you there. Annie B.

Hi Annie, I'm in and out. The coffee is really good this morning (drinking the dutch coffee out of my Bonaire mug) and helping my husband get off to work.
Wow, sure got dark underwater suddenly...

Morning all,

It sure did get dark fast. Look at the topside cams, seems Bonaire is getting hit with a rainstorm.

Now they know how we feel.

raining again

Purple rain

Tom you and I saw the rain at the same time .... and it is raining here in Maine too, should that make me feel like I am actually in Bonaire :-) ?

Denise, Hope the rain is gone by the time we get there. 49 days for you, 50 for Smack and I. Packed yet?

My gear was all packed and then went to Darlene's pool to try out her new fins - so now some of my gear is drying out, soon to be packed. I am making a listof 'things to bring', like little chocolate cups and amaretto for sunset treats :-)

and a bag of hard candy and red licorice for after dives on the dive boat -to get rid of the dry mouth from breathing bottle air :-)

You better hide those chocolate cups.

Glad Darlene's fins are working out, hope she saves some snorkeling time for me:-{)}

Here comes the sun

How exciting Annie B! Good Morning Denise and Tom. Well we have Autumn weather here. Summer lasted for one day here.

Hi Eileen, I really like your profile picture :-) maybe if we are lucky we will get a day of Indian summer before the snow flies !

looks like Florida in the summer "scattered showers"

Really soggy Saturday!

Thank-you Denise! I try to change it every few weeks. I am hoping for an Indian summer too!

See the sky- weather link for the Caribbean. Red over Bonaire. Partly cloudy here in St Croix.

I'm awaiting engine parts from Tampa, Florida! I guess I'll get them once all the hurricane cleanup is over...

Cheers,

Melissa, s/v Vinga

Good saturday for all!! Finally some time to come and play again.
Only 15 days... Hope the rain is gone by then

Annie and Martine... hope you two are having a good day tomorrow! The two of you are finally going to meet in person....

hello everyone!
Wow, it's really dark up there!
Diana, you know the rain will not last that long! ;-)
Only 15 days! Great! I am still counting in months: 5 months exactly tomorrow, WOOHOO I BOOKED!

Karin... you have something to look forward to. The funny thing is always: it's over before you know it, while waiting to get there takes ages!!

how true, Diana. So, I always make the best of this waiting period! Planning, dreaming etc about what you will/can do. How long will you be going, where (about) will you stay?

Hi Diana and Karin. So far I am glad to say that it has not rained here yet today. I just hope that it is the same tomorrow. Annie B.

Great stuff Karin. You can spend some time planning which signs you are going to hold up for us. LOL. Annie B.

Is someone going in??

The fishes are coming out to show themselves to us now. Annie B.

Hello Karin and Diana! Sarge is here. I am going out to do some shopping.

Good morning everyone...I am not jealous about your upcoming trip Tom, Smack and Denise, NOT AT ALL Looking forward to seeing you on the cams!
Annie, I am also looking forward to seeing some posts of you and Martine!
Looks like the storm may be passing...it finally cooled off to under 100 here in N. California today..maybe the heat will come back east and dry you all out!

Stopped by and found a fish.

Sorry Barbara! lol

Oh, yes Annie, plenty of time to think about some signs and/or gadgets!
Not much activity on the cams today!

Kathy, that looks like the Schoolmaster fish. Annie B.

Going in or coming out. I can't tell.

Hi, Kathy, I was just looking up that fish in the book..saw so many there and without a pic couldn't place it...appears to be a schoolmaster!

HAHA Annie, GMTA! I could have just waited for you to post instead of flipping through the book!

Karin, we are staying at Divi's and for 15 days...

Barbara, I couldn't pull the name of that fish from my memory either. Schoolmaster it is!

Finally posted my trip report, but still need to add more pics. Think I'll wait till Larry's home, it's a BIG job! Loved yours, btw!

Lots of heads in the water, maybe going for a dive?

Looks like they're coming out...posted a pic of you and Larry on my trip report..takes forever to sift through, adjust and post..works getting in the way!

Barbara, I look fat in your picture. lol Shoot, next time I go to Bonaire I'm going to starve for the month previous.

Hi all! Looks like things will get greener just in time for us to arrive in 17 days!

Hello Sarge

Bomber squadron

BIG head

I saw a fish that was THIS big

Reds are always lovely

Finally made it back in. Some great fishy pics today!!!

Really missing a good time on the beach. I'd rather be in the rain in Bonaire, than in the sun in Illinois. Oh well, there is hope yet. I'm planning a trip in December.
