Thank you all. And I will clean the cams, when I get there. Probably not monday at once...

Only a few hours to go... See you all on the other side of the cams...

Hi Margarite. Looks like I will just make it home from Cyprus in time to catch you on the cams. LOL. Annie B.

Looks like Sarge tried to clean the cam with his tail. Bless him.

Good morning.

Margarite, I will check in at the Sand $ on Oct 1 and will look for you.

Good Morning Everyone!

Have a wonderful time Diana!

Thank-you for your get well wishes for Quinn, I think it is working! Joel is going up to visit his family today, everyone is going to be there but Quinn and I have to stay home. We were supposed to go up as well.

Have a great trip Diana. We will be watching for you on the cams!

Martine. Loved the report, very well written gal. I am going to go and read it again. Annie B.

Aw man...messed up the pic

Kathy. I saw that one and wondered what you were getting at. LOL. I think we have all done that at one time or another. Annie B.

Hi Annie! Had to clean the pics off my desktop, lol. We're headed out to shop (again), so I hope you all have a nice sunset.

Hi gals! A quick peek in...and judging by the number of marine park tags...and the "S" on the wetsuit for "Superman" me thinks this is Jake giving the cam a clean and checking on the water temp sensor

Oh, and his Mares fins give him away too

Just left Sarge...


I wish I were there having a beer! We are having a horrible heat wave today...it's over 90F here at the house, and that NEVER happens! We're praying for the ocean breeze to kick in in a couple hours and cool things off!

Oops...forgot the pic of them drinking beer!

TV just said it is 98F...I don't ever remember it getting that hot!

OK, Jake coming in and someones belly!


Jake

ROTFLMAO! I posted the wrong pic! But it's a good one! LOL!

Jake..

Must be the day for it Cynde. ; )

So glad Jake cleaned the cam! Thanks Jake!

Tempted to count the bottles, lol

Oh, yeah!!! Now that's what I'M talkin about....

) margarite

Cynde. Thanks for posting the cam cleaning pics. It's good to see Jake again. Annie B.

Well this night owl is ready for sleep now, so I will wish you all sweet dreams, and see you all tomorrow sometime. Annie B.

The ReefCam is doing great - the type of algae growing on the lens is pretty easy to wipe off - not that encrusting thick stuff we would get in the shallows.

The UW Temperature probe is a different story - apparently the cable got played with by man or fish, and ended up in the rocks, and then got severed by excessive rubbing against the rocks. So, that's down for the foreseeable future - Dan's going to need to build another probe assembly and ship it down, and this one will get placed in the water protected by PVC.

Jake

Jake. Thanks for the info. Will we see this wreck turn into a living reef or will it stay the same as it is now. Not sure what coral or anenomies, anenomes (oh, I can't spell that word) can cling on to. Annie B.

(Message edited by annette on September 5, 2004)

Anenomae. LOL. Annie B.

Thank-you for the clean cam Jake! I missed some neat pics today. Joel had a good time at his parents. It was quiet here at home. I wish everyone good night!

Annette,

The wreck is already a living reef - lots of small corals, lots of life all over it. It will probably take decades for you to see larger corals on it, but it's definitely thriving. In fact, all the water there is teeming with life - saw a large school of horse eye jacks behind the ReefCam mooring - about 20 feet away. I also saw a couple of scorpion fish in some sort of courting attempt (one would snuggle up to the other, and the first one would move away, all irritated :-) ).

Still need to get you and Trevor to Bonaire so we can share this all with you!

Jake

Thanks for answering my question Jake. Much appreciated. Annie B.
