Good morning all!
Wow this sure feels good... I sure missed all of u!
Martine, I hope your back is better now.
Diana, have a great dive-weekend (I'm jealous, we haven't been in the water since we came back from Bonaire, Cinthie has an ear-problem).
Congratulations Barbara I'm sure you will enjoy your dives this weekend!
Mary, looking 4ward 2 see you on the cams! Have fun with Kelly (should NOT be a problem ) And I'm sure I will recognise the two of you
Welcome new BT'rs but beware you will become addicted.

There's nothing on the cams right now, but I'm posting them anyway

Hmmm, I guess I'm all alone out here...
I found a night diver in the archives.

Good Morning Igor!!! Nice to see you here! Got your mail. I hope Cinthies ear will get better!

Pretty exciting week on BT! Barbara good luck this weekend! And all those going to Bon or on Vacation - not jealous at all!!!

B and W, for Jos, just like in the movies!

Hi Eileen!
I was hoping 2 see u here!
I do hope Quinn's eye will get better soon.

Thank-you Igor! The beach looks so beautiful this morning!

It sure does Eileen! Would love 2 be there.
PBD is still very bad and I want 2 check out the new reefcam
I guess I will have 2 wait...

It's not completely dark anymore but you cannot see anything either.

I can see the wreck now!

The first fish

I would love to be in that small boat now!

Just had my shower, Quinn changed and fed. Let's see some fish before the puter goes!

So Quinn is happy and u are clean, life is good
No fish yet, I did spot a bird (I think one of those doves you see everywhere on Bonaire)


(Message edited by Igor on July 9, 2004)

It is a tough life Quinn and other babies lead, being fed, being cleaned and sleeping LOL! Oh, don't forget playing too!

LOL Eileen.
It's lunch-time over here, so I'm out for a little while. See you later Eileen, have a great day!

One fish in the distance.

Bye Igor! Have a great day!I am off too, Joel is going to work! I hope everyone has fun today! I wish everyone a great day.

Hi Igor and Eileen. Hope you both have a good day today. Annie B.

Igor. I did wonder whether night divers would be seen at the wreck.

Hi Eileen (and bye again ), Annie and Igor!
Eileen, hope that Quinns eye will be better soon!
Igor, hope that Cinthies ear is also better soon. Today I'm preparing for the dive weekend, searching all the items for the tent and so on. Hope that it will stay dry when we have to put up that thing
At least it looks to be a sunny day in Bonaire:

morning all. next saturday is Eva's BDay. Since some of the kids will be around then I have agreed to go shopping with her this weekend. The full monty...drive to Jacksonville to do several malls (and dive shops), dinner and dancing, ,stay in town, walk on the beach in the morning. I am the valent shopping bag toter.

Eva is looking for a new UTBTRD for Bonaire. Anybody remember what that is from Wally and Eva's Random Trip Report Reduex

Good morning all.

Have some Starbucks coffee.

Looks like a nice day here in Atlanta. Next Friday I am on a boat heading to Looe Key in the Florida Keys. Looking forward to trying my new camera.

Hi Annie, Diana, Wally and John!
Ok Wally I cheated... It did ring a bell, but I couldn't remember. If the list still is the same won't you end up buying 2 new UTBTRD's?
Sounds like you have your work cut out 4 u this weekend
John, we're looking 4ward 2 the results

Diana, hope it stays dry. We're going hiking in the Belgium Ardennes for a few days next week, but I do hope the weather will be better. I'm glad we opted for an apartment this time (was to lazy to get our tent out for three nights )

On Topic: Fish!

John, we just got back from Looe Key (Ft. Lauderdale, Key Largo, then Big Pine for the Looe dives)2 weeks ago and it was great. Hope you guys have a great trip! This was our second year at Looe and we love it. We did our first night dive there on a starry, starry, moonless night...and it was magnificent. : )
A few shots:

Wow, he lined those chairs up pretty quick!

Hi Kathy, nice pictures ! Thx 4 sharing.
I think picture 10 is a Intermediate French Angel, not a Gray Angel. But I'm not sure because I've never seen a Gray Angel myself

Most women will have several UTBTRD (Up-town Beach Type Resturant Dress)

You're right, and I have one more mislabeled as well (must have been the wine that night?). When I actually get them to the real webpage, I'll fix 'em!

Nice pics Kathy....who was in the chain suit on your website getting nibbled on by that pesky shark?

Hmmmmmmm, wine=good Kathy
Bonaire got a lot smaller all of a sudden...

Look who is here! Who is it?

Is this SHAMU? Good morning, heavy bodies, I mean everybody! (Old Bennie Hill joke! LOL)



What a glorious day!

The perspective on the last one is realy weird. It looks like a HUGE fish (a whale maybe )

Good morning everybody.
First of all, I wish little Quinn's eye turns OK soon.
Wally, I loved your pics, and Igor, your pano is terrific :o)
Still enjoying my unintended days off. I am feeling much better but still feel some light pain when I get up in the morning :o(
Once the machine has started to heat, it's OK :o)
What is that red thing close to the pier ?
Have a nice day.

Igor, it's so great to see you back here on the baords - don't you just hate it when life interferes with the important things, like the Bonaire Cams? Love the *island* shot - very warped and cool.

Martine! Take it easy and enjoy your time-off. Wonder if the red thing is a wheelbarrow for incoming divers to lug their gear?

Eileen - our early bird. It's a nice time of day and a good way to get your day started.

Off to read the other threads - whew - this place sure is busy lately. Hi Wally, Diana, and John and lurkers. Kathy, welcome! Nice shots from the Keys - lots of variety - including sharks!

Close-up:

I am going in.....
well, somebody is

Is this the same fish, different angle? Annie B.

Hi Stan. Maybe we'll see him at the reef cam shortly. Annie B.

Hey, can you guys tell me what utility you use to make those cool animated gif's of the sunsets?

Thanks
Tommy

Wally you are such a good husband... can't wait to meet you and Eva !!! Won't be long now.. we are in the short rows ! lol

Annie, there are two differents fishies. O7.38 looks like a fairy basslet ( you know, the one half purple and yellow ) and your 08.45 looks like a pair of Jacks.
Did you notice how Jacks are easily seen on this new cam ?
Weather today here is similar as an autumn day : grey, rainy and chilly. Must be the same in England and Holland :o(
I wish I could be resting on one of these chairs...SIGH !

Sarge brother ?

Just peeked in and saw these fishies.

That's it for me, I feel for Eileen the days she only gets a couple of minutes with the 'puter. I'm off to the nascar races in town. Have a great day and weekend everyone!!!

ghost fish

Martine. I only know Sarge and the rockbeauty at the moment. BTW, the red things at the end of the pier are the barrows for carrying the diving gear, sometimes they look red, but they are really yellow. Annie B.

Hi Everyone!!!

Annie - good catch on the barrows!!!

Igor - I loved the small island of Bonaire - great job!!!

Lisa - have fun at the races!!!!

Martine - I hope you are feeling better soon!!!

Annie someone is laying in your sun chair!!!

LOL Mary, They are relaxing in the sun. I think we see divers entering the water in your picture too. Annie B.

Who's back end does this belong to?

Annie - I almost post that pic too!!! Good thing I refreshed!!!! Looks like we are still on the same wave length today!!!LOL!!!
My guess is a blue tang!!!

Hi Mary , counting down the hours till landing on Bon???

Hi Annie B , just a minute !!! Who said it were your beach chairs ???

Sjossss

Sjossss - YES I am doing the count down now. I leave at 5:30 Sunday morning - so I do not think I will be getting any sleep Saturday night!!!!

Looks like a bit over 42 hours till lift off!!!!! WOOOHOOO!!!!

Mary ,

You are some 6 hours behind on us , right??
That would mean that by that time I will probably be starting up my "Mega Weber" for our family BBQ , some odd 18 people

Weather forecasts : heavy rain and thunderstorms !!!

look at these two pictures!!!!
A big fat 100 % : female and male !!!
Can you see the difference???


jos

VAMOS A LA PLAYA OH OH O OH !!!

Jos. I bagged those chairs the other day. That is my place in the sun just waiting for me. LOL. Annie B.

Rockbeauty's tail

LOL Annie, I just posted that on the wrong thread...yesterdays! Good morning everyone!
Someone has my shade again

New thread time Friday, Part II of ???

Jos - 10:56 and 11:02. Please explain in fifty words or less the difference between male and female.

What are you talkin' 'bout, dood?
