It's gotta be puff surely. See ya all later. Annie B.

annie b...just got home from our celestial nav class...9:55PM here on the left coast and i was all proud thinkin' i could start thursdays thread! figured i would post this diver from last night...

Morning all,
Gee, lots of things happened yesterday evening after I went to bed. Lots of fun, hmm
Ok, Dr pepper won, and as many of you suggested we can call him Doc Pepper, or symply Doc.
I love PUFF, quite appropriate for a Puffer, so this will be my vote.
I have another suggestion, tell me what do you think about it.
Do you think it could be a nice idea to have someplace in the Bonaire Talk menu a single thread ( I meean just a webpage picture gallery ) dedicated to the reefcam dwellers with the name we all gave them ( permanently renewed each time a new dweller appears and has been named ). This could be helpul for the newbies.
We could post real reefcam pics ( just one each ), or close up more accurate pics. If everybody think it's a good idea, I have time enough to make a draft and summit to Jake, if he agrees of course, being our moderator.

Well, I see that I must be up late again tonight since Martine has already signed on. So, since I know the webcams are in good hands, I will sign off, and head for bed, myself.

Good morning, Martine.

Good morning martine.
I felt the same way : boy have they all been busy yesterday.
Too bad I didn't check the board yesterday evening , I would have had a nice name for Dr.Pepper .
My suggestion would have been Dr. Doolittle, so he could be a translator from the fish to us humans.
Any way, I do like your idea of the ID thread.
That wou;d surely make it easier for newbies to get used to the boards who's who.
We could make it a democratic decision right now : two votes in favor and no vote against? Done deal.
( just kidding)
gotta go now.

Dan , you are a late night dweller!!
Internet is a graet thing , just looked junea AK up.Wow that IS far away, relatively speaking ofcourse.

Yep, we are literally on the other side of the world. And now it really is a good night to all.

Good Morning and Good Night Dan! I missed all the excitement yesterday! We had our neighbour's 3yr old visit us and it looks like a tornado went through, so I will be cleaning up a bit this morning before work. Martine, thank-you for the sunrises from yesterday! My vote is for puff. The reefcam dwellers thread sounds like a great idea!

Morning Jos, Nite nite Dan,
I can't help thinking about this Who's who reefcam dwellers thread. In case Jake agrees and to avoid any further copyrights problems, the best would be to only use the reefcam pics.
Then we could open a special thread to gather the nicest pics picked up from your archives (everybody helps), and then make a webpage under Jake's control.
I think this matter is too important and we have to wait our moderator's opinion before acting.
Blame me, I forgot to wish you all a nice day in my previous post

Morning Eileen,
Still the first one awaken on the other side. I am not talking about Dan...
Do you have time enough this morning to assist to the sunrising ?
This is my last vacation day and I should be rather busy today, as I left a lot of things to do for the last day :o(

Rather crowed on the buoys this morning, and Blikjie escaped again.

I have time to pop in and out, but the sunrising I can not. My husbands computer is saving everything as .bmp, no .jpg and .jpeg, and we are having problems converting. The computer tech at his work is going to look at it. There are so many viruses our there and I hope we did not pick up another one (we just recently debugged and removed many files of this thing)!

Morning divers maybe?

Blikjie, please, come back home.

Yes, please come home, the street is not a great place for a sleep!

these ones martine???

Eileen, I rather think their are night or early morning fishermen.

Good girl Blikjie ! Jos, the spot is still there.

Have Jake and Linda swapped Grendal for a bulldog ?

That would be nice and relaxing, fishing in the morning! Just being outside (when the weather is warm ) in the morning with a nice cup of coffee!

Martine, When I first came here, I saved a folder to desktop and named it Fish Id. I saved the reef cam dwellers, along with their names to it, and that is how I learned to Id the residents. My own quick and easy archive if you like. Annie B.

Eileen , I go with martine's explanation.
You know why?? Just make a time table ; 6.30 at the buoy = 6.00 am leaving the harbour = 05.30 am getting all gear in the boat = 04.30 getting out of bed = NUTS !!!!

Jos, I had such a dive in Sharm el Sheikh when we had to dive the Thistlegorm (laying in Gubal staright). Wake up at 3.00 AM, pick up at 3.30 from the hotel, boarding at 4.00 and on the place at 8.00 to be the first ones on the mooring. Finally, we arrived second.

Guess who is the first dweller appearing on the cam ? Yes, yes, Doc Pepper !

Jos, I know a few divers (friends of my dad) that have done early morning dives. They also enjoy ice diving. I'm still a beginner and I will stick to the day dives come spring !

Thanks to you Annie, but we need the "Boss" agreement first

Martine, I know it probably will be a silly question: at least 3 hours by boat to get your dive suit wet?? What's wrong with the water in between boarding and diving? Not wet enough for you???;-)

Well time to go! I would rather stay though. One more day until TGIF! Have a great morning and hopefully my husband will come home with a fixed computer!

Eileen, here are your morning colours.

Guys , grendel is looking kinda thirsty to the wetspot on the street!!!
jos.
gotta go.

Thank-you Martine, Have a great day to everyone!

Jos, "Thistegorm" is a worlwide wreck and lays in the Gubal straight, it needs 4 hours trip from Sharm el Sheikh. But it's truly worthy to get up that early, cause this is an unforgattable dive, and the boat is so big, you could sleep on the decks during the trip. We only geared up on the place :o)

Looks like we got the hook and bait.

Well folks, it seems Doc Pepper knows he is a Star(fish) now !

i think so its still there

Martine, I think you misunderstood me.

The boat is in the correct place for the hook and bait.

How come Annie ? Forgive me, but sometimes my english is failing.
Nice shot, I first saw a fish cut in two, but thinking well, it looks like Satchmo's tail, and i bet the second pic is Charlotte's nose.

and there she is

Another nice one for you Eileen.

Don't you see Kaa, the Jungle Book snake in my last post ?

A little action at the gate.

I see it is going to be one of those days!!!

Early visitor

Nice U turn, Jake's mooring is cleared.

Divers coming soon. Just pay attention to the cam. Need to leave you foe a while.

Here they come.

Already returning to the boat ?

Uh, uh, returning to the boat !

Well the good news is now we can all be Peppers together! (YAY ) The good news is also I leave for Chicago tomorrow and Bonaire Saturday and I just got word that I will be just in time for a street dance to celebrate the Carnival that everyone is talking about! The bad news... my chest is pretty congested and I have a cough. NOT GOOD!! Anyone have any quick fix ideas?

Matine-
I do see Kah and you know what? I just brought Austin (my son) to see Jungle Book 2 last night! He loved it, of course!

Martine (and anyone else), if you can cobble together a "ReefCam Cast" Web page using ReefCam image, nicknames, and real fish information about the fish/critter involved, I can format it and make it a permanent part of BonaireTalk - even with links on every BT WebCams page.

Jake

Angela, hi, good morning,
Lucky you, you are leaving tomorrow. Bonaire, carnival, hmmmmm !
What a pity you chest is congested. Sometines, the fact of travelling by air just stop a cold. A very good "granny" cure is a thyme inhalation.
Just boil water with a bunch of fresh thyme in a pan. When it is boiling, just remove from the fire. Seat down immediately at your kitchen table, keep your face over the steaming pan while covering both your face and pan with a towel and breathe open mouth. Remain around ten minutes. This is not very good for one's brushing, but very efficient for the chest.

Jake, thanks for your answer. That would be great. I understand about webpage making so I can manage for this project, but I would't be fussed if anyone else would like to do it.
I can make a draft and summit it to you and all the B-talkers. I think I will open a new thread just talking about this project, and coordinate with everybody intersted.

Martine-
Thanks for the suggestion. At this point anything is welcome and I don't really care about the smell. It's not like Scott is around for it and if the dogs or Austin mind, they will get over it, right!!

This is not a dive boat, it mostly looks like a
"sport fishing" boat.

Oops, something went wrong woth the pic...

Great idea, Martine...we'll probably have to come up with some new names for archived fish, yet unnamed..can't wait to visit it Jake!

Hi Barbara,
Nice idea ! Well, lots of work for you all...

Hi, Martine! Which thread will we be on today? You see we stayed busy after you went to sleep!

Good Morning/Afternoon everyone!!
Puff is perfect!! I am glad Doc Pepper won.
Thanks for all the lovely early morning pictures and glad to see that that rascal, Blikjie, is back inside the gate!!!

Martine, The idea for the seperate page of all of our fishies is great. I am glad Jake says ok!

Angela, I am so sorry to hear about your cold :-(
Very excited that you will be dancing in the streets though! Wish we were there for that.

Annie, I hope Emma is feeling ok today, warm thoughts and good wishes coming your way! :-)

Good morning, everyone. Little late getting going this morning, but I finally made it to the office.

Ugly, ugly day here in Juneau. Sleet driven by steady wind, cold, damp. Vis (topside) is about 1/2 mile/.8 km.

Have a good day. I'll pop in now and then. Looks like some fish in the area and maybe some divers will be showing up. Keep a close eye out for them, because I won't be able to.

Barbara and other B-talker,
This is the normal thread, I just created a new one where you can post all the reefcam dwellers archives pics and all information you think they may serve for our web page. This link called " draft for our reefcam dwellers" has to be completed day after day by all of you, but only regarding this matter. Go and search in your archives and post on this link all what you find interesting ( close up pics if possible ) for a final webpage. Could be nice if we could do it in one week. Thanks for your help.

Okay, Martine....that was Jo the Coney on the other thread..forgot to post her name.

Who is this?

Barbara, this is Doc Pepper !
Divers coming soon...

oooH! See how I am? Too many fish, not enough time!

Posted this also on the "Good Morning" thread, but the expression is too priceless to have anyone miss it. So here it is again:

Since there are two Thursday threads, guess I need to close both of them out. Will do, but with the same thing.
Looks like Grendel is very interested in something!

And with that, I bid everyone, good night or good morning, as the case may be.
