Drying out day today; packing wet gear and leaving it for 2 days would make it funky, at best. This time tomorrow I'll be headed back to Phoenix. Sigh. I'll be doing touristy things today, and making sure I still have a flight back.

We are arriving on Friday - please pray that it stops raining! I'm trying to escape the gloomy, dreary Dallas weather. I need SUNSHINE!

Claudia, we are arriving on Sunday so please stop it for us also, here in dreary Houston.

I thought this might make Cynde smile today! This was from our adventure in July, 2003. This was our last day on Bonaire, and it rained like heck all day! LOL
|
By Claudia Mair (BonaireTalker - Post #14) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 12:21 pm: |
Starting to worry that I may be stuck inside with the twins playing cards instead of diving. Not sure I want to send them to the kids program at the Plaza if they won't be able to snorkel. Darn I just bought 2 bottles of sunscreen! Think happy, sunny thoughts!

By Susanf (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1060) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 12:31 pm: |
Uh, you're getting wet in the ocean. Why the angst about getting rained on? I agree, it's nicer with the sun out, but still... at least you're able to be in the warm Bonaire waters skimming over a reef teeming with life.
|
By Claudia Mair (BonaireTalker - Post #15) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 12:41 pm: |
Okay, I agree that wet is wet, but sunny and hot is what gets me through the winter and it just wears the kids down to a pulp. I've already started chanting "Spring is coming, Spring is coming" and we haven't even had our first freeze here in Dallas yet. I rather wear sunscreen than a sweater any day! You really have to love winter to live in Massachusetts. Maybe all of should move to an island ... Calgon took me away there for a minute. I'm going to vacuum that always cheers me up (NOT!).

He can't believe it. It's not supposed to rain on Bonaire!

By Cheryl Gibson (New BonaireTalk Poster - Post #5) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 1:11 pm: |
wow, look at that high water mark today! Only 31 days left - I'll help with the chant: Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Claudia...it is great to dive or snorkel when it's raining! Susan's right...the waters warm, the air temperature is warm, it's a Caribbean shower remember, not a freezing rain....nothin' like looking up at 40 feet and seeing it raining, right Kelly? I forgot that flood we got that last day....we went from Plan A, to Plan B, to Plan C....most of the roads were flooded, couldn't get to the Donkey Sanctuary....LOL! Even Annie stood us up at Lac Bay! What am I saying Claudia, relax mon! You will enjoy....and usually, the rain only lasts for a short while then the sun comes out again! It's all good girlfriend ;-)

Oh Boy, hubby reports heavy rains in Bonaire today. He is working hard. Everybody sing now: The sun will come out tommorrow, tommorrow...

By Debbie Babcock (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #413) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 2:29 pm: |
Here's some divers toughing it out:

By Cheryl Gibson (New BonaireTalk Poster - Post #6) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 2:35 pm: |
Cynde, you're right, the rain is warm - not like here. I think it is just the concept of rain on your sun vacation. Rain doesn't stop us Pacific NW'ners from much anyway!
|
By Kathy Hall (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1417) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 2:44 pm: |
Divers!

Still there.

By Kathy Hall (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1420) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 2:54 pm: |
I wonder if that could have been Cheryl and her husband? They didn't get close enough to tell!
|
By Cynde (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #12619) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 3:15 pm: |
Kathy, thanks for the chair ID...LOL! Wonder if that was Cheryl and hubby...
|
By Cynde (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #12620) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 3:48 pm: |
Looks like one Kathy did...
|
By Martha Newlon (BonaireTalker - Post #64) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 3:52 pm: |
We need some kind soul to wipe the lens again. It looks like it's raining underwater right now with all the algae growth.
|
By Kelly (Lott) Baum (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2028) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 4:01 pm: |
Yes, Cynde is right, there is nothing like a pounding rain when you're at 40 feet! It sounds thunderous and it's the coolest thing ever to watch.
|
By Margarita Murphy (BonaireTalker - Post #71) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 4:07 pm: |
Great show they put on! Too bad we don't know who they were. Did look like Cheryl and her husband.
|
By Margarita Murphy (BonaireTalker - Post #72) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 4:24 pm: |
Lonely kitty.

By Stan Eker (BonaireTalker - Post #88) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 4:40 pm: |
There shouldn't be *any* algae on the UW cam lens. I disected it and cleaned inner and outer lenses thoroughly. May be all the junk washing down into the ocean. The vis at the surface is zero, or was, just as appealing as diving a bucket of mud. Looks like it's cleared at depth a little, at least. I don't see any smudges that are at a consistent position, so I don't think it's algae.

The water looks like a sheet of glass.

Hello everyone...couldn't get on line last night and just catching up...looks like the rain continues...nice try with the clown outfit Stan! The current at the cam drove me nuts and made me use up all my air pronto!
|
By Margarita Murphy (BonaireTalker - Post #73) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 5:17 pm: |
Thanks Stan for all you did for us while on Bon.

By Barbara Leary (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #6875) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 5:28 pm: |
Dunno, Cynde, same way you missed the other two...

By Cynde (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #12624) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 5:32 pm: |
Barbara, that's hysterical...well, Bongo's Beach Cam has now been officially mooned! LOL!
|
By Margarita Murphy (BonaireTalker - Post #75) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 5:42 pm: |
ROTFL, Barbara and Cynde. Glad you captured these priceless pics.

By Kathy Hall (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1421) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 7:49 pm: |
Awwww...another sunset-less day on Bonaire?!? I just looked back and I saw it. No rays of sun, no nothing, nada, no color, just gray/blue to black. wah
|
By Patty Lynn (BonaireTalker - Post #35) on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 - 10:09 pm: |
Ya'll are lucky Stan didn't _really_ moon us...lol! Hmmm, just how late _does_ the cam stay on at Bongo's????? Hey, did he ever unveil his pirate outfit? Maybe that's the one we missed seeing his "exit"...;o))) See you soon, Stan!!!
