It's Nurse Day - let's thank those overworked underpaid angels of mercy!

Morning Rusty I am back from the depths of unpacking!!! I see there are two threads this morning. In celebration of Nurses Day I want to send a special dedication to Lyn. Happy Nurses Day Hon

cool... so when I see a nurse shark today I should giver a hug!?
I can try lol
Once saw this thing on tv about how you can turn a nurse shark on its back, stroke it's belly... then it's supposed to go in a trance and stay all quiet. I think of it each time I see one but wont even consider trying to wrestle one on its back lol. Touched them gently on the tail... just to feel it but no more then that eheh!!
Nice day yall! Off for another great dive... wonder what we'll see ;-)

Hi Freddie - I was going to name the thread - Nurse Linda's Day!



Thanks for the updates - it'll be great to have the *kids* come home. Have you renamed your street - Hughes Avenue?

Morning Ya'll. That sounds like a teaser from Bas. What's he going to entertain us with this morning? Just looking through the archives, hope he cleans the cam while he's down there. Please

Happy nurses day Lyn and I can't forget Nurse Nona.

Actually the street is named after my others father so it already has a family name... I wonder if Bas will dive at small wall today and give us a thrill??
in honor of our French neighbors (we really do have French neighbors} in 1889 - The Universal Exposition opened in Paris, France, marking the
dedication of the Eiffel Tower.

Thanks Freddie,Rusty and Cindy

and Happy Nurses Day Nona.


See you at sunset time

oooh Lyn, I don't like your nurse gif.

A little fish tail

Hey Bas, you CAN do that to a lobster. I've seen it done in Oqunquit and Wells, Maine. They just stand the lobster on its head and stroke the carapace and the critter falls into a fugue state! Might have to be a Maine lobster tho - not those FLA bugs.

Did anyone watch "Blue Planet" on the Discovery Channel yesterday? Way cool! Loved all the fish stuff...and they showed the Parrotfish and how they eat coral and poop sand. I instantly thought of our fabulous Bonaire reefcam!

Bomb's away!

Hehehe.. you can do it to me too.. dont even have to stand on my head LoL
Cindy, it wasn't a dive at the reefcam. Went to other site.. very nice, lots of corals, big spunges, 2 sting rays, some tarpon and a lobster carrying a load of eggs under her tail. Was rough getting in and missed our exit point by about 60 feet. Came in right on the spot, even headed a bit north taking the current into account but in the last 40 feet to shore there was a VERY strong current going south (across) Still managed to get out without scrapes and bruises :-) pfffff

Hi Sally! I'll have to check the listings. We don't watch TV - but I'll turn it on for Blue Planet!

Gems, gems and more gems!



Lots of fishies on cam:

Hiya Bas - How you doing? I enjoyed out chats while I was in Bonaire.

Hiya everyone
Here's a good pic of Kevin snorkeling down to the reefcam
I didn;t make it on the reefcam. Jake and Martin helped me loads, and gave me lots of weights to help me get down. I even changed from my wetsuit to skins to get rid of some boyancy. Boy am I boyant!!!! LOL
Anyway gang. I am back safe and sound. I have not slept for a day and a half, might be more. My brain is getting foggy. I am off to bed, and will log on again after work tomorrow night.

Hi Jenni,

Good to see you made it back ok. Was thinking of you guys when I saw the KLM fly over... we were snorkeling at Andrea.
Was nice chatting here and there when we ran into each other.
Haven't seen Martin yet.... could use the garlic press he brought along ;-)

What you going to cook? Whatever it is, count me in. You are an amazing cook!!

I snorkeled at Andrea on the Friday before I left. I really liked it. So, I am jealous of you. I looked from the plane, but I didn;t see you. :-)

Welcome back, Jenni!! It was so fun catching you on the street cam every day or two. You get some rest and come back and tell us all about it when you're ready!

Hey Jenni, glad you arrived home safe. I was thinking of you. Thank you and Kevin for helping to entertain us.

Bas, you made it sound like you were heading to the cam with a special treat for us. but thanks for the mini trip report.

Thanks Rusty, and Thanks Cindy....

And now I really must go to bed

Night, honey! Sleep tight!

Bas - thought you were going to wrassle a nurse shark for us! Darn! Oh well - next one on Bonaire gets to hypnotize Bas by rubbing his belly. (Hope he isn't ticklish - that'll never work!)

Working on those Night Moves...



TODAY'S BIRTHDAYS:

can't decide if it looks like a wolf or a pig.

Maybe it's a werepig.

I know, it looks like Wonder Warthog (an old comic book my uncle used to read). Wonder if you can still find them?

Couple dunnos here - maybe a Sergeant Major and a Tarpon?





It's twilight time. Sign.

Sigh!

I thought that looked like a flying pig, too!

The colors tonite are gorgeous!

Goodnight, Bonaire! Goodnight, buddies!

Night all the above picture looked like a bat to me.....is the couch ready?

pictures posted are amazing...makes me go into dream land..is there such thing as a god?...maybe if i wish upon a star i'll get there to see for real

Thanks for catching the sunsets for us Rusty. Those were amazing.
