Good Morning Everyone!

It must be time for breakfast!

Good Morning Carol. Sunny but cloudy too here today. I feel a bit chilly. Hope the little fish got away!! Annie B.

Blikje is waiting for her breakfast too.

Good Morning Carol and Annie B.! Day off today! It has been a busy couple of days, we are still organising our house. Time for a break! Bluebeard is here for breakfast.

Good Morning everyone....

Well, we made it home just fine (although a few minor delays on AJ). Thanks to Annie and Ginny for posting our pics at the Street Cam on Friday's talk thread. We had a great trip even though we never made it to the reef cam - the night dive at Salt Pier with the Octopus and Spotted Eagle Ray more than made up for it. Look for a complete trip report sometime in the next couple weeks.

Hi Eileen. Enjoy your day off. Annie B.

Michael, You are welcome. Glad to see you had a safe journey home. The night dive sounds very interesting. Annie B.

What on earth is this.


it looks like the back end of a bunny on my monitor.

don't know what that is, Annie.......what about this one?

Carol, I just saw that one myself. I have got abselutely no idea. Methinks we are in need of help here. Can anyone id the long thing for us. Gonna go back and have another look at it.Annie B.

Annie,
Scubabeauty(on Community Chat) said it is a trumpet fish. I checked and I think she is correct.

I did the same as you Carol. I was gonna ask Rusty. Have to put this one into my fish id so as to remember it. Annie B.

I have a question.

In all the information I have read it says that if you go into town, ladies should wear dresses.
Is this correct?

Nancy & John,
I didn't think ladies needed to wear dresses to town, but I haven't visited Bonaire yet (next April)so I could be wrong .... but, hold on, someone will be along who can answer your question.

Not really. Mainly you should wear more than a bathing suit. Throw a sundress or shorts and T over your suit.

Happy Monday from rainy Cape Cod..since I returned Aug. 19th the weather has been mostly bleak and wet. I did sail Sat. on a cold but awesome NE wind at Mayflower Beach in Dennis.

Nancy, you may wear shorts and t shirts in town. Rarely you see a female tourist in a bathing suit to only and they really stand out. Not sure why you read something about dresses..what was the date of the publication??

Annie

Hi Everyone,
Hi Michael, Will look forward to the trip report.
Sounds like you had a good time.

Hello everybody,
Just coming home from work, and thanks for the nice pics you posted. Annie...didn't you recognized "Satchmo", the trumpet fish ?
These thin fishes could reach 2 meters long and they love to stay up side down mixing with the long soft coral branches, waiting for preys. They could be grey, pinkish, yellow or spotted blue.Yellow and spotted are the greatest.
I'm not feeling quite good, I cought a cold cause of this strange and crazy weather. Time for me to prepare dinner, catch you later. Have a nice evening all.

Hi Martine,
Sorry you are not feeling too good, must be the change in the weather, hope you will soon be better.

good day all! great capture of satchmo! lol annie (date of publication)...michael, look forward to the trip report...

looks like grendel is being a good babysitter watching over bas...

Hi, BT'ers...Great captures...haven't seen Satchmo in a while. Looks like the yellow wrasses are getting together for dinner!

Big parrot! Must have scared the others away!

Hi Barbara and Cynde,

Martine, If you're out there, no I really didn't recognise Satchmo, and I couldn't open my fish id folder we have lost the paint shop pro. My brain is working as well as my 'puter lately. Annie B.

Hi Annie B,
just a couple of sunsets.

Hiya Maria, The sunsets are lovely aren't they. Just like the ones we get here, I don't think. Annie B.

Just caught the sailboat in this one.

Hi Annie B,
Yes, I cant remember the last time I saw a sunset like that. Wish I could see it for real.Mind it get dark early on Bonaire.

Maria, We've been looking at some brochures, It's also rather expensive to get there. When we went to Dominican Republic, it got dark very early there too. Not very good at geogrophy, but the nearer the equator, the darkness comes early I think. I expect someone will correct me if I am wrong. Annie B.

Very good security system here.

Close to the equator the days and nights are almost the same length winter and summer. There is very little twilight though, once the sun is down, night follows quickly. Like the oooolllddd song goes 'night falls like thunder'. No long twilights like you get way further north or south.
