Looks like a lovely morning here. Annie B

Looks like a witches hat on the wall. Is someone going out trick or treating? Annie B.

Is that a bag?

The right side of the 'bag' seems to show a person's head and shoulders, looking to the left!

Good Afternoon/Morning Annie B. and John.

My vote is for bag.

Oops! Good morning Glen!

This diver is practicing his/her underwater karate kick!

Watch out for the camera!

Look Ma, No hands!

Hi everyone. Nice ones of the divers Renee. Is he standing on the coral?

He may be...

That was a bag on the post. We're having some work done on the house (roof repairs, replacing a termite eaten door frame (and apparently they were just about ready to launch - we've had hundreds flying around our office this morning - oh joy!). The bag belonged to one of the workmen.

Jake

Darn!! Can't read the sign.....could be Rachid and Simone....

Hi every one, good afternoon/evening !
I don't think they are Rachid and Simone. It sounds a little bit too early for diving after the whole night spent travelling and they also need to settle in their hotel and rest a bit after so many troubles. I bet they appear tomorrow on both cams. Must think about my dinner now and, at the present time, I don't have the slicest idea of what to cook. Must find some imagination quickly...

mornin' all..wonder if the 9:30 post is olaf on the right. he is wearing some sort of swim cap...probably to keep his bald head warm!...oh, the bag thing cracked me up...poor jake and linda, nothing goes unoticed at their front and back yards! Lol! So, do we need to get a life (me included here)

YEEEOOOZZZERRR...could it get any closer???

I'm too sexy for my scales!

Hey Cynde Lee, like your new profile picture, are you king of the world?

Must be very odd living under a microscope, not sure I would like it, but maybe you just forget about it at some point.

Howdy everyone. Love the pictures that you have posted.

Take care and keep diving.

Pete

he snork...what is that round thing that diver is holding???

oh, yes, I am QUEEN of the world!

here are a couple of parrots of the fish variety

LOL - Cynde, I think maybe the round thing is a paper plate with a message written on it - too far away to be legible. But an "e" for effort!

No enough pixels to read, but it's a sign...

I just got word that last nights flight from Amsterdam to Bonaire was aborted (had to turn around 3 hours into the flight for technical reasons) as well. The original Sunday KL789 flight that Rachid and Olaf were supposed to be on is actually coming here this evening, and we get two MD11s tomorrow in the wee hours - the normal one (which Martin & Angela should be on?) and the one from today. Luggage for those who were on KL789 should be arriving today, even if the passengers arrived earlier. Don't know where that leaves Olad and Rachid, but assuming they didn't cancel their trip, they should be arriving this evening at the latest...

Jake

WOW! What bad luck they're having! I hope the third time is the charm!

oops, wrong first pic with the sailboat...but it's nice!

thanks for the update jake...i hope they all arrive today, and then martin and angela don't have any problems leaving tomorrow...

Jake, we're leaving tomorrow, arriving fryday early, so I hope it's all solved by then...

It's quitte an adventure for Rachid, Olaf and the 3 friends that had to leave sunday....

(Dumb question: when are the wee hours???)

Geez, what a story ! Please, have a little thought for KLM staff. I am often confronted to this kind of situation which is very stressful for passengers as well for the staff. Olaf's and Rachid's odyssey looks like a nightmare, but I am sure, once in Bonaire, they will be quite fine and happy. Martin, you should travel without any trouble. Lucky you ! You too are back on my predilected island. Enjoy. Would you please drink an Amstel with Olaf and Rashid ( and Jake ?... at Karel's ? ) having a little thought for me ? Folks, my BPD is back

Martine, I allways try to be polite to the crew, I know they have nothing to do with delay and stuff.

And only one Amstel???

Karel's on Friday evening?

"wee" means "tiny" or "little". When combined with "hours" it means the early hours of the morning.

Jake

Hi again everyone. In reviewing information about the Small Wall dive site, it says it can either be accessed by boat or shore, but for shore diving you have to get permission to cross private property. Is this the norm for many of the shore dives?

No. Most (80-90%?) shore dives at marked (by buoy or yellow rock) are off non-developed shore/land. Small Wall is a rare exception.

Jake

charlotte peeking in...


blijke says "I think I hear Olaf, Rachid, Martin and Angela"


then blijke reads Jake's update...

ROTFLOL Cynde...

Jake, Thanx. It's saterday evening at Karel's, wanna come?

I'm off to bed. See you all later, watch for us on the cams. "Speak" to you all on nov. 12-th or so (KLM willing...)

Here's some pretty colors for Igor.....I'm Sure he's pretty BUSY (ya know what I mean?) Let's hope it's working for me today....

Hi Everyone,
Lovely pic Margarite.

is this the moon,?

Olaf....are you in that camera somewhere?

One little boat with one little night light reflecting on the water....sooo pretty. CArole

Evening everybody. Just popped in to catch up on today's thread. Annie B.

Sorry Jake, Could not resist. Annie B.
