Good morning, everyone!
Well, its not "good morning" here. Its 8:09 p.m. on Monday, but I thought I'd get my licks in early.
For all of you who care (and, of course, I know you all do), when figuring time in Juneau, just subtract five hours from Bon time. You'll hit it on the nose!
And, to satisfy the webcam police, here is what it looks like underwater at 1:08 a.m.

dan, dang dang dang! i thought i could be the first left coaster to post the thread today! i caught this off the north beach cam...jupiter?

Sorry, Cynde; the early bird gets the worm. But at least you got something. I got just blackness.

Well, this is a truly good morning, hard to keep my eyes open this morning. I went to bed VERY late yesterday evening, or VERY early this morning. This is just to say hello and wish you a nice day full of beautiful posts I find when I am back from work.

Good Morning Everyone! Is it Friday yet? Almost slept in this morning. I'm working on a more challenging project this week at work. I would rather be in bed .

Going to be a beautiful day!!

Have a wonderful day everyone!

same to you Eileen, hope to catch some nice shots today.
Joost

and a good morning to Blikie

Good Morning everyone....

What a way to start your morning.

Anyone know what all this clutter is?

He's almost in camera view.

The darkish discoloration in the upper left quadrant is a scratch on the red filter of the ReefCam. I've just assembled another red filter lens "cap" which I will install in a few days (wearing my tropical dry suit to stay warm this time!).

The white stuff is particulate matter in the water, same as yesterday.

The occasional fuzziness of the image is electrical (a ringing effect like one gets on broadcast TV signals, as best I can tell). Trying to track it down with help from a video expert in the States.

Good morning, all. We're up to 23F here today. We'll be rivalling Bonaire in not time.

Busy day on the water.

john, are you awake? you said:
"We'll be rivalling Bonaire in not time"

riddle me this batman...

;)

Here are some Bluebeards in waiting.

Nice day is right.

double your pleasure, double your fun...


lol bob

Hi everybody. Just popped in to catch up on things. No divers as yet then, but I found this one. Annie B.

Hi, everyone! Didn't get to finish the conversation with Martine about posting the underwater oddities "camodities" (?) and had a very busy day yesterday...Any more thoughts out there? Here's a group that got missed...

Hi all of you,
I'm a new user of Bonaire Talk.
I saw the picture on the webcam with the dogg, is it a Dalmatian?? Its name is Blikie?
I have a Dalmatian too and we will come to Bonaire in summer. Till than!

Hi, Marie. He's not a dalmation. Maybe Jake the owner will come on and tell us again the breed. Welcome to Bonaire Talk! I believe your refering to Grendal?

Well Everybody, I am back from the great beyond (AKA Bonaire). You guys did manage to capture a few images of our group. (Sunday Sunday Annette #3844, Middle of the Week John Lidington #969, and Annette #3905). I hung out in front of the reefcam for quite a while on Wednesday, I believe, and nobody captured it!! I hope everybody had a good week, I think it can go without saying that mine was awesome (finally got to see an octopus, no seahorses though!)

I'm sorry it's Grendel! not Grendal...

hi all, and welcome Marie Marie,
I am still at work and couldn't help popping out.
(internet has been installed :o) ).
I am just in the starting blocks to go back home, so catch you later in around two hours.
See everything i running all right.

Hi Marie Marie.

Good morning, again, everyone. I see the waters and the streets are quiet in Bon today.
Hope that you all have/had a great day. And I need to get to work. Duty calls, you know.

She's back..

What does this look like?

Welcome Marie Marie to BT....This place is addictive and filled with cwazy people....Hope you enjoy... UB

Lookie lookie....

It is a slooooow day.

Here is a partial....

Yes, Carmen it sure has been a slow day in front of the cams today.... But here is a sailboat for Margarite the Sailboat Lover...haha UB

Can't do the fancy stuff like Annie and others but here is one sunset. UB

???Wonder if this will work? UB

Oh its so nice here in the shade and now someone is coming!!!Dang it... UB

other way around UB and no space between them By George I think you have it!!!

Nice work Bobby....
Looks great..... 85 more days...... I can't wait......

2 pretty sunsets before I get myself off to bed

Hi guys,
lovely sunsets again, cant wait to see them LIVE !!!
Roughly four weeks from now, hey who's counting ?

Pfffeeeew , busy day today, 11.30pm and I just found some time to log in.
A couple of days like this and two weeks Carribean won't do to get me going again.
gotta talk to my boss about that.

Keep posting. If only for me.

Sjoske.
O by the way : marie-marie? Are you so nice ( like New-York) They had to nam ut twice???
:-)

nam ut ??? DANG !!! name it ( bedtime I think?!)

Another one or two or three if it will let me....Gosh...they are pretty UB

It's almost over but there's that sailboat again UB

Fabulous sunset sequence, thanks a lot. Here is my last post, midnight past here, and I truly must go to sleep now.
Have a nice night. Catch you tomorrow morning ( for the US insomniacs and the european workers ).
Nite nite all.

Wow Martine and we haven't even had supper yet..Looks like Jake and Linda have guests because sure can't find anyone at the cam...and another sunset. UB

Going, Going, Gone....Good night...UB

Popped in at the wrong time, GoodNight Everyone! In about 2 months I'll be diving in Ontario! It will be a number of years yet before drysuit diving. See you in the morning!

Thanks for the sunsets and for the picture of my sailboat Uncle Bob. Jimmy says you are about ready for a nice relaxing trip to the island. Would be very relaxing indeed!! But not for me....I just can't get enough diving in.... Margarite

PS. We could always go for a sunset sail and snorkle on my sailboat!!! FUN!

Eileen, come to Juneau; I'll give you lots of practice in drysuit diving!

Dan, the divemasters (on our cert. dives) told us that once you start drysuit diving, you never go back to wetsuits - in colder waters anyway. Who knows, maybe I will take you up on that offer!

hey uncle bobby, thanks for the fabulous sunsets!

Sorry I wan't here today with you all. The one thing that I think I have learnt is, I think if I ever attempt to dive, which will be virtually impossible in my case, will be that I shall go for a dry suit. LOL Annie B.

annie, the only thing that is keeping me from getting a dry suit is that i have a very small "holding tank." wouldn't be able to make very long dives

Oh blimey. Don't understand this diving stuff. So if you have a dry suit, does that mean you can't stay under for very long. I was just thinking of keeping warm, and not having water enter into the suit. Dummie Annie B.

Uncle Bobby. Thanks for the sunsets tonight. I just couldn't be here with you all. I may not see you tomorrow either. Emergency going on here. Annie B.

I think I found one that got away.

I dive "dry" all the time. Lake Michigan.
They make "pee" valves for dry suits. I choose to just hold it.Heard of too many "malfunctions" with those things.
Anyhow the plane leaves here in 8 hours. On my way to Krispee Kreme now if you know what I mean
Jake?
HehHeh.
Later

Sorry to hear you are having troubles, Annie. Hope all turns out well. Karen

Angela -

Do tell! Was the water temp cold? I am headed down the end of next week - will a 3mm (full suit) be enough? I hate to think I need 5 mm.!!

Karen

mike, i think that the "pee" valves must only be for the men folk...us gals don't have the same options

Hi, nice to get so much response.
Bobby said that you are all crazy people, I like crazy people, so I am curious what will be....
Jake would be nice if you tell me about your dogs breed.
Ida, what is Grendel?
Jos, sure, I hope I'm nice (??), we say: the double the better (free translated)

The big dog, Grendel, is a mastiff - half Fila Brasiliera, half Neopolitan. The little dog, Blikje or Blikie, is a Bonaire mutt.

Jake

Welcome, Marie!
