Wow! Great way to start the morning!

Have a great day Joost! I'm off!
Have a great day everyone!

Eileen what about this one

NEWS FLASH BONAIRE

Nessie aka the Loch Ness Monster was sighted this morning on the west side of this island.

Bonaire Talkers are anxiously watching the underwater web cam in hopes of catching a glimpse of this elusive creature up close.

Stand by for more news as it happens.

Blikie and Grendel, visitor for you

I am using the Cam Dwellers page to try to learn the fish but not gaining much ground...Is this Charlotte? UB

Bob, looks more like a Parrot or maybe Blue Tang, Charlotte is black

Good morning/afternoon everybody,
I am just working on the final reefcam dwellers touch. Still some work to do. Have a nice day.

Hi Martine, found this one, hope your work will be fun

Good Morning all. Great pictures already this AM. Maybe that is a good start to an exciting day.

Morning everyone, I am wondering whether I shall get time to pop in ant out of here today. Busy day again. Joost, I was just gonna post that one. You beat me to it. Can you ID it? Annie B.

Joost. I think it is a Barjack. Annie B.

I think you'right Annie, my thought was the same. Hope everything today is going well for you and Emma Big Hug for both of you

can't find the right sign or message



so I just left

so has another visitor and the truck

Good Morning, All
Annie, I hope his is a much better day for you and especially Emma Prayers are with you always.

Uncle Bob, I was wondering if your fish might be Doc Pepper?? Not sure, it's a hard angle to get a positive ID.

Nothing on the cams right now....have to do some work but I'll pop back in a little later. Bill

Time for a quick escape and a good scratch...

Bill

Bill, you should be packing

Thanks Joost. She is ok. They won't do anything for at least six months, due to swelling and scar tissue. The pain is being controlled again. Annie B.

Tom. Nessie's not daft, if she swam to a warmer place.LOL. It's gotta beat Loch Ness.

Morning everyone.

Whose that following me?

Looks like another gorgeous day in Bonaire - wish the water had been this flat any day of our February trip...perfect!

and here's Blijkie enjoying the sunshine too...

ARGGGG
{image01}

That should be better!!

Joost, or Martine... as the song goes...
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to roll...

1 More Sleep!!!

Bill

False alarm, I'll continue my walk.

Hmmm....
Not my day for posting pics, that's for sure


Oh well, I get to see everything up close and personal in just 2 more days!!

Happy Camper

Bill

Whoops Superturtle. Got delayed in the middle of posting, so you managed to jump in there. Emma is ok thanks. Being pumped full of anibiotics and pain killers. She is in high spirits. The doc said that she is the first person that all this has happened too. Funny thing is, they have suddenly stopped performing this procedure now!!!!
Annie B.

Not my day either. I forgot the pic.

Have you been waiting long??


Bill

Bill, it's early for you I know, Bill will do

Bill. How are we gonna id you on the cams. Annie B.

Da boat, Da boat!!

Ahhh, YES!! That's the place. Yellow building, far right end, top floor!!

6 of us there and the other 2 next door at he Plaza!!

Annie, I found a pic to put on my profile - shows my most recognizable feature - the bald spot
Plus my mask!! I'll see if I can scan it and post it tonight

Glad to hear Emma is in great spirits!!

Bill

Duty calls

I'll pop back in around noon - about 3 hours from now.

Bill

I received this message from Igor. Annie B.

My computer has died two weeks ago.

Please say hi for me on the BT-Board. I don't have the time to chat while
I'm working because two colleague are sick (one of them is my friend) and
at home I don't have a computer for the moment. I hope to be back by the
end of this week or by the start of the next one. So I'll be back

Grtz Igor

Annie, thanks for this information, I wondered why Igor didn't post here the last couple of weeks. He told you before about the illness of his friend/colleague. So nice to understand the background

Bill. I shall look forward to the picture. Annie B.

Annie it strucks me that by the time the East gang in the States is wakening up, our internet speed goes down. But that's only for this site. On the continent we have no problems with the speed from local traffic

Good morning all! How is everyone. I did forget a very important part of my report. Underwater visibility was pretty poor. Down to about 40 feet! Felt like I was diving in Lake Superior, only a lot warmer!!

Bill- keep that in mind and have fun!!

Joost- No, bright's, mostly Amstel, Polar, and margarita's (I don't recommend having a margarita from Rum Runners- YUCK!!!)

Marion- the island seemed overrun with Dutch tourists compared to last year. Surprisingly, not a lot of cruise ships were in either! Coincidence?

Angela nice hearing from you. Did you left something?

Joost. Local traffic here can slow 'puter down, but mostly it is my own fault. I got about 8 windows open, and sometimes 'puter gets overworked and confused. LOL Annie B.

Visitor overdose there. LOL

Someone tying up at Jake's buoy. Maybe some diver action finally?

I can't read it.

Annie-
How are things at home, with Emma? I hope getting better!

Joost- Yeah, Scott left his wallet somewhere! (He lost it but thankfully there was no money in it, just id's and some other replaceable things!). I, on the other hand, did not forget anything... I don't think anyway!

A new visitor. Grand Central this morning.
Now if we could just get some divers.

Although I may have left something out of my report again... I'll let you know when I remember!

YAY! I now have experience!!!

Angela, what's the reason that KLM is flying into Bon twice a day? It's not only your bounty islandAnd with the Carnival we happen to have holidays here to

I'm not sure. A lot of tourists. When we were leaving there was a flight (KLM I think) getting ready to leave for Peru. They had been in France and were on their way home. I will say that at least Flamingo Airport finally has a place that is air conditioned now that KLM is there!!! Do you have Mardi Gras to celebrate? Due to Carnival, they had Lac Bay on an abbreviated schedule so we missed it on Sunday (we had a boat dive scheduled and I took a nap because I was still pretty sick). Carnival was worth it though!

Angela, Refer back to my 9.47am post. Annie B.

The boat on Jake's buoy from below. And maybe some bubbles over the wall. Maybe there's hope for some divers showing up on cam.

A loop of something manmade has intruded. Are divers sneaking up on the cam?

Angela the two KLM flights are flying directly from A'dam to Bonaire (first stop) and then one goes to Lima-Peru and the other to Quito-Equador
On their way back they stop again in Bon collecting passengers and then nonstop to A'dam.
Believe me the number of tourists is growing

Bill- I recognize your excitement for your trip.
And I'm jealous. I want to go back already! We did bring back a 10 pound wheel of gouda, however! And I got a lot of great pictures!

Where are the divers. I gotta go see to the dinner. Maybe a new thread in anticipation of some good diving pics would be required. My scrolling finger aches. LOL Annie. B.

Annie-
I think that they do this on purpose. They know we're watching and they must think it's fun to tease us. Thoughtful of them, isn't it?!

Angela, Either that or they are very camera shy. Annie B.

Well, even if the divers refuse to come out of hiding, we do get the occasional fish.



I agree that if the divers show, we should use that as the start of a new thread. If not, an afternoon thread would be in order. This is getting long.

Our parrot makes an editorial comment on the performance of our divers.

John ROTFLMHO. I thought the same, but you put it much nicer than I would have done. Annie B.

Bet this will be a double

Some wrasses come by to see if we are still in there watching.

Right you are, Annie.

nearly a triple

Are we all becoming desperate or what. LOL

Now we have a third boat out there. He's asking the first boat how much longer they're going to be there, so that he can take over teasing us by sitting on the mooring eating his lunch.

FINALLY!



going to new thread.

Diver alert, nice pose! Pretty busy on the cams today! Hi everyone!

And there they go...time to switch to another thread I think..

Angela,

I heard they had some special offers in Holland for flights to Bonaire. Imaging, in high season and Carnaval. On those daily flights there are only 30-35 seats reserved for passengers for Bonaire. I guess they were not all taken and a lot of people came last minute.
