Starting an EARLY Thursday thread...just checked out the all else Bonaire thread and it appears that HUNDREDS of BT'ers will be appearing...and CYNDE sometime tomorrow! It looks like a job is waiting for her!

Cynde, are you there YET?
May you arrive safely;
May you hear the seahorses and frogfish laughing and thereby find them. (We know they are out there...);
May an eagle ray drift past you, turn around, and come back;
May your shore entries and exits be uneventful and bump-free;
May a pair of nudibranchs lumber past on a rock as you do your safety stop;
May you have no power outages (the UPS beeps can make you feel as if you are on a dying space ship heading for an ominous black hole);
May all of your dives be free of fogging masks, and cramping feet and legs;
May all of your luggage arrive;
and
by all means,
Have a Blast.

That was very nice of you to wish Cynde all those great positive thoughts! I'm impressed :>)

Good Morning!!! I would to wish all the BT'ers a wonderful holiday!! MMM, coffee! Couple more days until the weekend! I have so much work to do for the next couple of days, should be OK though.

Annie B, I everything is better for you today. Hugs from Eileen.

I am going to miss all the excitement today! But it will be fun seeing the pics! I've decided to leave early today to get work done before everyone comes in. Have a wonderful day everyone!!

Morning Eileen,
Have a nice day. I wish I could post the sunrise pics as I have a lot of things to do too.
I also wish Annie will give us better news. A warm to her and Mom.

Oops, I think I did a mistake, it is Kelly who is arriving with Cynde today. Please, forgive me. I am a bit lost with all of you leaving or about to leave...

Beautiful morning, as usual on Bonaire.

I'm in and out during the day, I'm sorry to have missed the coffee break...

Thank you for the lunch present! I really liked the present!!

It's all my pleasure Martin.
Well my did my sunrise posting pics job, need to do my home work now :o( . Catch you later.

Eileen would have killed me if I didn't post these two more...

Let's go now...

Good morning Martine last night was so excited could hardly sleep. I am like a little kid waiting for christmas to come. I work for 6 hrs than come home hop in the car drive to miami and then tomorrow I will be on bonaire yepeee.

Morning Christine,
I don't know why I suddenly feel so depressed ?
I understand what you means, I was feeling the same nearly one month ago.

Try to have a cool day, and don't forget extra clothes in your hand bag :o)
Oh Boy, I am so much thinking about all lucky you.

It loooks like a giant upside down octopus.
This cam truly needs to be clean soon.
Jake, perhaps you may arrange a night cleaning dive tonight for Cynde ?
Weel, if this cam is not cleaned tomorrow, I just return and do it myself.

Wow, colours are particularly nice this morning ( except on the reefcam

aw martine its to bad we all couldnt of planned on being there at the same time. Jake I think you better go get the cam cleaned before poor martine fires the webcam cleaner and moves in to take care of it.

Hi everyone. I would just like to thank everybody for their good wishes last night. Mom is staying in for now, I think she has them baffled. Decided to cam for a while, it keeps me calm. Annie B.

Could it be that a weird sea creature has emerged from the deep to go look for Cynde?

Gosh, now my brain isn't working. forgot the pic. LOL.

Good morning everyone! I see you are all up and on line early (well, it is 5:14 here)...Christine, have a safe and exciting trip! So far looks pretty quiet, fish sleeping in late so they can stay up and play late? LOL, just some little fry...

OOPs, gotta get going to work

Good Morning everyone! Cynde will be arriving tonite and I will be arriving tomorrow. She should be in transit as I write this, she left last night at midnight from Los Angeles.

She is picking me up at the airport, and you will see us soon after that arriving at Jake and Lindas to begin our 10 days of fun! We may get to see Cynde tonite though... depends on what time she gets there.

Thanks for the info Kelly. I hope I shall be here to watch the cams. I wish you safe journey and a wonderful time. Annie B.

Thank you Annie B.. how are things today with you?

Good morning Eastern and Western coasters, Kelly and Christine, I dedicate this pic just for you. Look what is waiting for you tomorrow... Argh, I wish I could be there too.
It was just a little break, still lot of home work to do.
Have a very nice and safe flight girls, DIVE and ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY !

Thank you Martine, it is just beautiful! Bonaire is the most beautiful place on earth and I am fortunate for this opportunity. Cynde and I will be like giddy school girls!

Chubby just appeared during my little break, this one is foe you Barbara.

I'll be leaving on Monday for Bonaire.

Hopefully all of us will be in front of the cams on Tuesday. That's what I'm hoping for anyway.

I'd like to see Cyndy playing with Grendel on the cams. That would make me happy.

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited.

I just noticed on Everything Else that Cynde says to come to Jake's house AFTER 3:00 p.m. to dive before the BBQ. Glad I read that because I would have been there right after lunch.

Thanks for that Chubby post Martine! I think you might need to go back to teach a course in cam cleaning! And we will all have to take a holiday on Tuesday to watch the action! LOL
Here's a princess that I found in the archives..

Terri, really anytime is fine to show up, we will be there just getting things ready for the party. We didn't want to say a specific time, because we were afraid everyone would show up at the same time to go diving. But just come on by, we should be there! Wave to the cams on your way in!

Oh boy, you are to dive there... One of my best memories of these last vacation. Tha party is something quite exciting too. Argh ! PBD is back and it pains a lot.

I miss bluebeard and co.

Kelly I am getting excited now just like I did when Martine, Cecil and everyone else went. Mom is ok thanks. She had too much C02 in her blood, and her potassium level is too high also. She is stayng in for the next couple of days.

Barbara. I was going to post that pic too. LOL Annie B.

GMTA Martine. LOL

Why can't I post something which is 50kb. That size is supposed to be ok isn't it??

It has to be less than 50kb.

Annie, glad to hear your mum's somewhat better...does she have a good MD?
Here's a few more wrasses...

More small fry...

Thanks Linda.

Barbara. They were very good with her. They continued to work on her bloods etc. until they had found the problem. I expect it could happen again at sometime, but at least now I know what we are dealing with. Not knowing is worse. Annie B.

Glad to hear the docs are doing their job!
There sure are lots of little guys swimming about today....is that Doc Pepper in the 1140?

Not sure Barbara. I always get him mixed up with the Tang.

The shadows are even jumping for joy today.

Is someone going to check your Mom's for leaky stove/heater exhausts or for a possible way for CO2 to get into her place from a garage? She is very lucky that you stopped by.

Linnea. Boiler is ok thanks, we already checked it out, but it is nothing to do with that. When she breathes in air, she is not expelling the C02, it is being retained in her blood. Annie B.

Very nice dive position kids...

Now scatter!

Annie does your Mum smoke alot?? high CO2 is very common in smokers.. Hi everyone!!!

By the way, Annie, nice waving palms there....makes it look windy! The CO2 retention can be related to lung or renal insufficiency..so I won't venture any more guesses since I don't know the whole story but you can e-mail me with questions, more info if you want to...some more tests would clearly be in order.

Dot day

Gate activity

Time for an afternoon thread, this one's getting long....

Hi all,
Glad to hear the docs found what was wrong with your Mom, Annie. I wish soon, everything will be OK with her.
Well, it's already time for dinner here. I wish we can catch Cynde on the streetcam tonight.
