Hehe .. Rachid .. guess we have a deal then ...
Where will you be staying ??
And how long ...

The tempo has gotten a bit low compared to yesterday .. :o)
Are we all getting more serious today ?
I'm not .. well, actually, I will .. gotta do a presentation at work in an hour ... :o(

But free topclass diner afterwards ... so that makes up a bit ...

I've been thinking about gadgets ... just found an old german war-helmet on the attic ... though pretty noticeable, I reckon it's a bit overdone (not to speak of unnecessity) ...
I'll brainstorm along .. but Annie, I think you'll know it's me ...

Where the hell is Marc today ???
And Martin keeps quite as well ...

Hello everyone again! I have to say that the pictures today are excellent, just like eveyday. I have some from where I live and I was wondering if there is a way that I can show them here? If not, and if anyone is interested to see what it is like diving in Nova Scotia contact me via my e-mail in my profile.

I hope that this does not cause a problem for this site suggesting this.

Take care

Pete

Lots of little fishes and another fish tale! Okay, for those who like the spelling correct, tail! It's so much more fun to be on line when everyone else is!

I know I want to see some...

as you pull up and park the truck...what do your wondering eyes see? could it be? you rub your eyes a bit more...yes it is...
marmer.jpg

after passing the mermaid, you slip into the water and drop down over the reef and right there, looking righ at you is a cow fish...what big lips you have!
marcow.jpg

moving along the reef, there is alot of life, oh, there is that same school of blue tangs...
tangs.jpg

oh my gosh...yikes...your suddenly in the middle of a baitball! which way is up???
marbait.jpg

whew! made it through that...yikes...what the...a coney with a cone? maybe you can snag it for your own neck..
marcone.jpg

man...sure are some wierd things on the reef today...a little early for christmas frenchy, don't you think?
marfrench.jpg

yikes...pierre, can you move back just a little???
marangel.jpg

as you drop to about 60 feet, you see something dark and slick moving along the outer edge of the reef...you decide to get a little closer to find out just what it is...oh no...back back back finn.....
marshark.jpg

whew...sucked a little bit of air on that one...whew...oh, a nice normal filefish for a change...thank you!
marfilefish.jpg

oh look, here is charlotte giving you a nice hello...
marchar.jpg

as you head back up the reef you see a nice parrot...
marparrot.jpg

again, you see something dark and shadowy, but this is HUGE...hmm...little closer...can't quite...yeowzzzaaa....holy moley...
marwhale.jpg

geez...you get out of the water and you really need a cold one after that dive...no one will believe the things you saw today...

Hello everybody. I am back from work and read all what you posted. I feel much better, cause there are some days you'd better not to get out of your bed, cause everything goes wrong, and today, that is what happened to me, plus, it rained all day long, rather boring when you work mostly outside. You know what ? I wish I could leave that mort job and fly KLM on sunday with Olaf and Rachid to Bonaire.

Hi, Martine! Wish KLM flew out of California..looks like it takes at least 24 hours to get to Bonaire from here...Are Olaf and Rachid going to hold up signs big enough for us to read?

MY sister and I are going to fly AA down thru San Juan and spend a couple of days on Puerto Rico each direction since you either have a long layover or a cross-your-fingers-hope-to-it connection. Neither one of us has been to PR and we plan on staying in Old San Juan and playing tourist there. I agree with Barbara, it takes forever to get to/from Bonaire from the left coast. Just getting to San Juan from So. Cal. takes from 10-14 hours depending on the number of connections. Then add on the time from PR to Bonaire. UGH!

Thanks for offering, Rachid ! I think I can fit in a large diving bag ! But please, just arrange a small hole I can breathe with a snorkel out. Where do I meet you at Schipol, at the checking area ? You can't miss me, I'll be wearing my diving suit, so you don't have to worry about the overweight. scuba
I just wanted to say I too saw Annie's skeleton on the beach ! I means, the skeleton Annie saw on the beach. Folks, I think it's time for me to go to bed, I really feel exhausted and tomorrow will be another hard day at the airport, cause it is Halloween holidays. Good night all, and don't forget me on sunday. amour

Hi Everyone,
Martine, I dont suppose Rachid has got 2 large diving bags,? I wouldnt mind coming too. Im fed up with this cold weather. Sorry you had a bad day, perhaps tomorrow will be better.

Cynde, funny pics, I liked the mermaid one, very clever.
Olaf and Rachid, have a great time, and give us a wave at the cams.

It's a good thing he stopped waiting for Jake, since Jake is in Lost Wages for the week. That's why no Jake commentary lately. But he will have to post a trip report complete with pics when he returns. Right?
