Good morning,
THE BIG BLUE
I saw yesterday the reefcam cable got some "cut".
So everybody will dive in the blue today !
is ready, I need to get ready now. Yikes, I got the BLUES ! See you back tonight.

Good morning Martine,

Blue it is !

just lucky timing I guess, won't miss much due to time difference.
Look at the bright side : digging machine operators are the same all over the world

"hey dude, whats this"? "Idunno , just jank it out of there , duh , the things people leave behind on the beach, dude"
( says he who once spend a halfhour trying to chop a tree root with a ax, turned out to be the metal wrapping of a subterrain power cable , yep , almost changed my hair do )

Sjoss

Good morning by the way Martine and Joss.
Desperate need some coffee (where can i see the icons like ???)
cannot find those on the help-pages.

Well, feeling much better today, but that's relative: slept I think three hours, so working won't be very productive I guess.

Good Morning Martine, Sjoss and Stan I'm up earlier now Kev lives here, and I am very sleepy still. More coffee needed, and then off to shower and go to work.

Have a nice day, ya'all

Good mornig all!
Jos, that would have been a bit of an Afro-hair-do I guess
I hope Jake can fix the cable 2day so we get 2 see Diana!

Stan, the clipart list is here. You can find this list on the formatting page (button on the bottom of this page).

thanx Igor.
Can't believe I missed it!


Perhaps because I found a shorter way typing : ) (without the space) to get
Well, al technical stuff. The coffee-smiley is nog in that list, but I will stop this in this thread because this is off-topic here.

Yep, lets hope Jake can fix it, I was very glad to see thing getting back to normal on the cams.

good morning Bonaire!

Good Morning Everyone! I need a coffee too, I am tired. Joel is leaving early for work, so I wish everyone a wonderful day today! Good Luck with fixing the cam!

Wonderful day indeed.
Well, looking at the boat on the cam, is the wind still coming from a strange direction?

hi stan and eileen , and who else soon will be joining us

look at this guys body language !
hands behind his back as if he was saying : "no way am I going to pick up a shuffle and move this sand!!"

beautifull blue skies btw .

sjoss

I am rebelling at work today! I really NEEDED a BT fix! So now I am all caught up and waiting with baited breath for the reef cam to be fixed (thanks for all your hard work Jake!)

LaDonna

Sjosss:

I think you are right!
Look at him, this is not working, he is bathing in sea!!!

Good Morning / Afternoon, Everyone!!

Too bad about the cable being cut. Joss, you are quite right though - put something anywhere, and the operators will cut it!! Unless of course that's what they were supposed to do - then they couldn't find it if they tripped over it LOL

Busy day again I'm glad I retired - I wouldn't have time to be this busy if I was still working!!

Beautiful blue water, with a white dot (???)


and a beauty at the beach bar!!



Have a great day all

Bill

the renewing is going on


good afternoon everybody.....

Good morning all

Have some Starbucks coffee.

John

Good morning all - and good morning John (nearly neighbor). I used to live in Marietta - for 13 years but now I'm up in Cumming.

And yes please - I would like some more coffee.

Mara

Good morning everyone...HA, I'm on line early enough to see the Dutchies live from the Netherlands! I miss you guys! I see the sand is much smoother today! Won't be able to check back in until this evening...long meeting today!

I guess it's time for me to head on over and do my thing with the soldering iron, eh?

See you on the cams shortly. Please be forewarned that I may need to take all the Cams off line for a bit during this process.

Jake

LOL Jake!

Good luck, don't forget to small at us!

Hope all goes well, Jake!

Jake, r u there?
You're coming through at a very low signal...

Stan, that is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long while! LOL !!!

divers and boat

Hmmm...that might be Jake working on the cable

Not sure what's in her hand, but she's showing it to us. lol

Hey!

Hi Stan, yes that definitely has to be the cable - in two pieces.

Whoa!

Makes me feel drunk!! (the image, not you Kathy )

and the reefcam is back online!

THANK YOU JAKE!!!!

Hey, hey! Looking good!

98 days until we leave for Bonaire - not that I'm counting or anything... but I sure am ready to go NOW! And then I wanted to whine because of the Beeeer sign - I'll take a Bright please!

So is PBD Post Bonaire Depression or Pre Bonaire Depression or none of the above?


Mara

Good ??????? everybody

Thank you Jake
Irma

Ohhh and more bar viewˇˇ
Bye irma

Just got back from lunch and found these two divers.

Some of Sarge from the archive.

More from the archives. Work sure is getting in the way of camming today.

Well, the repair was a real pain - the cable is Kevlar coated - so something of a challenge to splice - plus it's a three conductor cable (power, ground, video). First attempt snapped the video connection. Finally ended up using the plastic tube of a Bic pen to create a "splint" for the section of cable I was splicing to make sure it didn't bend and snap again on the second try.

And now the cable is in a PVC pipe that the maintenance folk at Eden Beach will be burying shortly, so that should protect the cable further.

Henk from Bongo's also decided he wanted a bit more life in the BeachBarCam, so we moved that over a bit.

Nice to be back in my quiet cool office again :-)

Jake

Steve Bailey are you really in Bonaire diving?
The ASTRALIGHTS..... are watching.

Thanks, Jake!
I was thinking I'd give up my quiet, cool office to be on the beach now, though. ;)
I kinda like the new view at Bongos, except it's dark just in front of the cam!

Let's follow this tang to a new thread

lets do it the dutch way! just put some sand on the beach and it's ready for use! looks great!
greetings,
Wietse
