It's a little early, but here is a cool night diver - perfect for Halloween!

Here is another underwater flashlight!

See you in the morning!

Good morning everybody and Happy Halloween .
Have a nice flight, Martin. Wish you meet Olaf and Rachid on Bonaire and have funs together.
Time for a coffe break.

Good morning Bonaire ! Happy Halloween !

Good Morning Martine and Eileen,

Wishing all BT's a Happy Halloween ! have a good time.



An early morning visitor.

Treats or tricks !

Blue skies, blue waters...perfect day on The Island.

Here it is

The early morning visitor was Olaf! He got here early Monday morning and has been diving his brains out (his words).

Jake

Hooray! He made it!!

I wonder if it was him yesterday on the reef cam?

Hey Charlotte, have you heard? Olaf is on Bonaire!!!!

Here she is!

Yoo hoo ! He did it ! . That means Olaf succeeded to travel on the night flight...
Tomorrow will be Rachid and Simone's turn, and why not the whole Dutch team on the reef cam ! I am so pleased for them and so sad to be stuck here...

Hi all,
I'm back...
Glad 2 hear from Olaf! Here's another pic of him.

Iiiiigor !
How do you feel ?

Okay, we've been waiting and waiting for that darned Olaf, and THIS is all we get??? Come on, Olaf, you can do better than THIS!!!!! We sit here, hour after hour, and we expect entertainment!

Hi Martine,
feeling great... a bit tired
The wedding was wonderful. Everything worked out exactly as we wished! Now we're just relaxing. Waiting 4 saturday when throw a big wedding-party and 4 monday when we leave 4 Aruba, Curacao & Bon!

I'm so happy for you both, Igor. Dare I say, the best is to come...

Let's hope so, Martine
The colours are as beautiful as ever!

We've got company

Very color coordinated!



I thought gloves were a no no except on the Hilma Hooker.

Someone who either has a medical reason to be wearing them, or completely ignored or slept through the marine park orientation.

Hrmmph.

Visitors at the gate.
Doesn't look they are there 4 Halloween

He's posing for us!

Dear All

Try this but ONLY if you have a strong constitution.

The owners of an old house, kept seeing strange things and hearing voices. These sightings were investigated, and the result was that they had a ghost.

The story was, that a previous couple once lived in the house, and that the husband died during the war and after that, the wife always sat at the window, waiting for him to return, until she died.

They have managed to capture the following picture and sound, however, it is very much like an optical illusion, so you will have to look at the picture for approx. 20 - 30 seconds before the ghost "appears".

Try to concentrate on the table and the window. You get a feint audio clue when it is going to happen so have your sound turned on highish.

Brian,

That was fun, I'm going to show it to my wife with the sound cranked up to 11.

As far as the diver pictured above is concerned, I know that no gloves are allowed except on Hilma Hooker, but it tough to get med at someone who is so well coordinated.

Happy Halloween All!!!

John

Evening all,
I'll post some sunsets now. I finally made it: I'm watching the bon sunset!

Wooow, this 1 is nice....

And this one is beautiful 2

One of the last Bon-views 4 2day...

Just cannot help myself... An edited sunset

Ok, I'm off 2 bed. See ya "all" in the morning

Last Bon-light

Great news to see that Olaf and company have arrived on Bonaire and are having fun! They truly earned this trip, didn't they!? I'm glad they hung in there because it is well worth it. Sounds like the Dutch Brigade will all be on Bonaire together shortly.,..should be lots of fun! Carole

Greetings from Detroit.
I'm stuck at work and its 35 degrees here. Your so lucky to be there.
Cheryl the pics from the webcams makes me wish I was there watching the sunset with you.

Hi all .......... !!!!!!

We finally made it after the hell on Amsterdam Airport. We were able to get booked on the late flight, which didn't depart until 01.15 (instead of 23.30u). So we were at Eden Beach at 8am on monday or so, with no luggage at all. This was luckily found the next day, so not much worries for that. Got some weekly-lenses, thnx for your help Martin .. or Igor, can't remember (thought it was Martin).
Anyway .. sorry I kinda forgot about you all, but Bon is just to f***ing beautiful to not dive 24/7 ...
I indeed met Jake this morning when he took his little girl to school (I guess) ... seems to be a nice guy, pity my time is so short to meet anyone for real. The others guys seem a bit a boring, just dive dive dive ..
Damn, I forgot to ask Jake if we could dive the Small Wall site through his place ..
Well, maybe drop by friday or saturday ... 2 days diving left .. nothing's said too much about Bon .. She's a sheer beauty ...

So ... we need to see when/if we'll dive the reefcam, there's no boat trips at Eden. Maybe Klein-Bonaire on Sat, tomorrow night The Hilma at night. It's too much, and too beautiful ...

Well .. that'll be it for now .. I'll post my pics and reports next week. Annie, haven't got a webcam-attribute yet, but it'll be either Fri or Sat .. during daytime ..
Dunno whether I should drive up to Jake for permission .. we'll see ...

Anyway, thnx for caring for me guys :o)
So for it's brilliant .. except for the delay, but it's already forgotten ..

Martin, see you Sat at Karels ... (after eight or so ..) Have a better trip than we had ..

Cheerz all

Olaf, So glad ya made it my directions must have come in handy ha ha.



Olaf, take a chance. Drive to Jakes and ask, you got nothing to lose. I am sure he will help if it is within his power. Good Luck. Lovely to hear from you. Annie B.

HEY Olaf! So glad you made it. Dive your brains out, you only live once. Hoist a Amstel for me at Karl’s, only 3 weeks until I get to do the same!

Glad to hear from you, Olaf and even happier to hear that you have forgotten your ordeal in getting to Bonaire....Bonaire will make anyone forget their troubles in a flash. Have a great time and we look forward to your trip report and your photos....ask Jake if you can dive Small Wall....he won't bite! Have fun. Carole

So how did you guys miss these characters? ...and who could they be?

Nite divers at Small Wall

Igor , I wanted to thank you for posting the sunsets for me tonight. We had a very busy day and I missed the whole thing! I think you'll find,when you finally get to the island that the sunsets are really phenominal!! It's always a difficult decision.....do I dive at twilight? or do I toast the sunset? Perhaps a good compromise is a twilight snorkel..... In any case, I am leaving on a business trip and won't be back til late Sunday night...Iknow you and Cinthie are in for a memorable honeymoon!!! See you on the cams. margarite

U're welcome Margarite.
We leave sunday evening (we're staying in a hotel near Schiphol 2 avoid the traffic-jams of monday morning) so I won't "speak" 2 u again be4 that. So see ya later...

Nice hearing from u Olaf Good thing u're enjoying the trip and are able 2 forget the travel-troubles. Looking forward 2 see u on the reefcam! Have a good time!

Hey everyone... did I miss the kids in their Halloween costumes???? Jake???

Here are the kids trick-or-treating downtown in Kralendijk yesterday afternoon.


Mine are the two on the right. Bas, the pirate! And Yana the special agent (NOT secret agent)! Think spy kids and Kim Possible.

OH LINDA THANK YOU!!! I had to work last night and it was the FIRST YEAR I haven't gotten to enjoy my little trick or treaters. They are sooo cute!!

Bas sure makes a handsome pirate!!! And Yana is a great looking special agent!!!!! Hope you all had fun!!!! Yana, how come you weren't a balerina??

linda, thank you for posting the kids...very cute! bas looks like quite the pirate, bet he was in full character, and yana is ready to conquer the world! they look like they have grown quite a bit in the last year....can't wait to bring them treats in june

Boy does Bas look like Jake (at least Jakes picture, I’ve never seen him in person.)

We only had 2 trick-or-treaters last night, glad to see the was more somewhere.

Am I crazy or is October 31, 2002 - 01:47 pm wearing shorts over her wetsuit? And if so why?

Mind you we don't just give random folks direct access to the beach. However people we know, who carry bribes (Krispy Kremes are a very good bribe!), are occasionally given permission (and a site briefing) if they are polite and nice :-)

Of course, Olaf can't bring Krispy Kremes, but I'm sure we can figure something out!

BTW, one way to be guaranteed shore access is to become a lifetime Bonaire WebCams member (we have several of those) ;-)
