Good Morning all.



Early morning on Bonaire

Is it truly this lovely,or a trick of the camera

Lovely colours.

Good morning Maria,

Feeling good today?

Wonderful colours on the cams today.

Early for me yet. Gotta go have some breakfast.

Cheers,

Bill

Morning Maria, Bill and other early morning workers. Truly nice colours on Bonaire. Wish I could be there. I feel much better this morning and have to go for my xray photography. See you later.

Good Morning Bill,
Feeling fine thanks, and you?
Breakfast for you and Lunch for me.



Here's a little one.

Hi Martine,
Glad you are feeling a bit better, (plenty of rest) and keep taking the tablets.
I have to go out today, looking for a carpet for the bedroom. Take care, see you later.

Good Morning Maria,
Belated Happy Birthday! Looks like another beautiful day on Bonaire.

Carol

Looks like they have had a morning shower......the door has been open for awhile...maybe we are missing who is coming and/or going.

Carol

Just a quick hello, I'm back to work for half a day.

Should have known that would have been a double post.

Hope to check back later this afternoon

Good Morning everyone,

Martine - Don't foget to post the x-ray !

Scott - Have a good half-day. sounds better than a full-day.

Fish -

Good Morning All!

Hi, everyone. Looks like someones sailing despite the showers! Belated Happy BD, Maria..didn't catch on until reviewing yest. posts last eve when all those east were sleeping!

this looks kinda strange to me?

Any ideas?

Looks like a fish heading out to sea to me.

Must be warm despite the showers...scooter guy looks comfy enough in trunks!

Barbara, you are right! Even when there is a brief rain shower, it is still warm there. One of my very favorite vacation memories is my first experience of a tropical downpour.

Here's a great shot - sorry I saved it in the large format.

I was just about to post that great squid shot..looks like they were around for a while.

and in formation again ....interesting discussion regarding their formations on one of the other boards...can't remember which one right off.

Carol

ginny, great capture of the squid...

What in the world is this???

Carol, Your guess is as good as mine!

Barbara,
Do you think the capture I got above is a squid also?

Ida

Here's another squid.

Ida, I think it could be a squid, hard to see...must be a squid convention on the island today!

Ida,
Would tend to think Barbara had it right earlier; possibly a Coney swimming away from the cam. A tail-on shot.

Thanks John.

Carol, I suggest for your 13:50 pic a sea shooting star...

Hi everyone,
Lots of interesting things on the reef cam today, did you hear about the giant squid on the news yesterday, washed up on a beach in Tasmania.?
Thanks Carol and Barbara for your kind wishes.
Hi Martine, did it go ok for you today?



Looks like Blikje is still waiting for Jake and Linda.

Evening everyone, Cynde, How you get the writing onto the picture? Annie B.

Home jut in time for those lovely sunsets.

Hi Maria,
What's that story about the giant squid in Tanzania. Looks like a Jules Vernes' novel. I already saw some times ago on Planet or Odyssey cable channel something about giant squid. Quite impressive. Regarding to my back, I truly feel better (the pain has stopped) and the Xray showed two crushed vertebras and my bones are loosing calcium. But nothing critical.

Hi Annie,
Back from work ? Have you ended to pack ? If I remember well, you are leaving on sunday 28th.
I sent you a personnal email, needed an information.

Well my friends, it is midnight past here and I feel sleepy. It's very hot too, and it seems we may have storms tonight. Have a nice night and nice dreams all and see you tomorrow.

martine, i like your explaination of the wierd shot!...annie b. i have photo shop and use that program to insert text to the picture.

Hi Martine,
A giant squid with tentacles measuring 15 metres long,weighs about 250 kilograms, they are calling in specialists as they say it is different. But they say it would not be suitable for eating.
Thats good that the pain has eased,

Annie B,
Did you have a good day, I expect you are getting excited about your holiday now.

Annie B.
If you've got 'Paint' you can do it with that as well.

Martine, I have replied. Annie B.

Cynde, Thanks a lot, I got stuff like that, but don't yet know how to use it all. I shall experiment I think. Annie B.

A lovely sunset

Oh no, why do the night divers come when I have to sleep. Annie B.

Annie, I just got your message, thanks.
Geeeez, a squid that long ! Longer than the whale shark...Can't believe it. And I love eating squids, espacially fried with fresh garlic and lemon juice. At City cafe in Bonaire, they serve you quite nice fried squids with bearnaise sauce... ugh, it makes me feel hungry now...

They said if you ate this one it would taste like floor cleaner. Lots of amonia

Blehhh ! Maria, Annie, what about a Wogga to get rid of that dreadful taste ?

Go to Comunity chat. Annie B.

I am already there,
How about you Martine, we can have some wogga in there.

Maria, I jumped to Comunity chat and went back here. Annie's wogga is wodka, mine is rosé wine, what about yours ? This giant squid doesn't taste good...
Gosh, 01.20 am, I said goodnight one hour ago and I am still there chatting.

Good Evening (and Good Night to anybody going to bed!) I have my wine ready and will share with anybody!

I hope everyone had a great day!

Night Diver Alert?

Eileen

Someone's checking in....

Cheers Eileen, one more glas of rosé wine and I am definitely going to bed. Perhaps the divers are coming soon.

Martine, It is getting a bit late,
I like the sweet liquers, but I,m not really a drinker, I get drunk too quick, and I like to be in charge of my brain. I like my cup of tea.

When the divers come I will make sure that I will post them so you can see it tomorrow! Cheers! Eileen

Ok. question. I am not a very good swimmer, so would flippers help if I tried to snorkel. Annie B.

Thanks Eileen, that's great, can go sleeping now. Have a nice night all.
Maria, I'll wake you up with a nice cup of tea.
Night, night.

Good Night Martine! I know many people will be off to bed soon (time difference ) !


Eileen

OK Martine that will be nice, will look forward.night night, I think I will go to bed too.

Annie, what do you mean, I do not understand. Do you means fins ? I have my "Harraps" close to me and flippers, for me only belongs to fishes...

Martine, I thik I mean fins. Annie B.

Hi Eileen,
Yes its not that we are unsociable, its just very late over here, and a lot later where Martine is.
I seem to be going to bed later and later and it's catching up on me.

but keep posting those pics for us, and we can see them in the morning. Have a good evening Eileen, catch you tommorow.

Maria, I know what you mean with the time difference, I hope to have some night divers for you tomorrow morning! Sometimes I can get on before I go to work, so I might be able to chat then, until then Good Night! Annie B. - Maybe you can used a flotation device to help you snorkel?
Eileen

Annie,
Sure fins will help you to swim faster and easier. They are much more comfortable than snorkeling barefooted. Just try in the hotel swimming pool, with and without, just to make the difference. That's means Annie, YOU DECIDED TO DO IT !!!! GREAT, I'm proud of you.

Eileen, I gotta learn a lot. Goin' to bed now. Night night. Annie B.

This time,I definitely go to bed. Night night all.

Good Night Annie B. I do not think we will get any night divers, that and I have a visitor now, so hopefully I can get on before work!

Sweet Dreams!!! Eileen

Martine, I'm gonna give it a go. I learned to swim all by myself, although not that good. I'm gonnna have a laugh at this I think. Sorry to keep you all up so late. Gotta go to bed now. See you guys tomorrow. Nighty night, it's bin fun as usual. Sorry, I know that most of this should be in Comunity Cnat, I just get drawn into it. Annie B.

Yep. sweet dreams everyone. I love ya all. Annie B.

Good Luck Annie,
We will be watching you on the hotel web cam, (if it works) and if you can do it I will give it a try. (will want a full report when you come back)

Night Night everyone.

Maria, I say go ahead and live it up,
the fish theme with palm trees and
flamingos sounds wonderful. I have
painted a rainforest with palms and
butterflies and hummingbirds on my
[incomplete]studio walls as they were
painted green when I bought the building.
Truly inspires me to get painting in
bright Caribbean colors when I walk
through the French doors. Wish I
could play with paint and clay every
day but I am also a Pediatric Intensive
Care Nurse 3 days a week. Full and
way too enriched life! I head out for
Honduras on a Medical Mission this
weekend [Belfate and Guanaja] with a
furlough in Roatan. Wish I could just
sprint on over to Bonaire for even a
day.
Just where are all my new found friends
from. And when are you all planning
to visit Bonaire next. I hope to visit
this January, still up in the air with
all my big winter pottery shows! Later,
ra
