GMTA,
I thought not much to see in the cams, but what a surprise!! The lights were on in the streetcam.
Does it happen once in a while or is it new?

Morning Diana, morning all
They must have forgotten to switch off the light at the richter's...
What a poor night we had : bad sleep due to the heath, no air, though all the windows were wide open and the fan on, no storm to refresh. The yesterday storms skipped Paris. It is a bit clouded this morning but as hot as yesterday.
A nice cup of coffee Diana ?

Eileen, sorry, I still have to work today, so I won't be home to post the sunrises. Tomorrow will be no problem.
Have a nice day all.

Good morning Diana & Martine.
If I'm correct the light at the porch of the Richters has a motion-detector, but now it looks like it is on all the time???
A boat on the horizon!

Good luck on your last day of work be4 your long weekend, Martine!
I'll try 2 post the sunrises Eileen!

Martine, yes nice cup of coffee. Hopefully it is less hot today for you at the airport.
Now I'v got to run to a meeting,
Be back later.

Morning Igor,
Maybe it is the "Freewinds" cruise ship in the distance having her weekly stop on Bonaire ?
Diana, I don't think it will be less hot at the airport. The tarmac dreadfully reflects the light and the heath. Add the burning air the planes are blowing, and you'll have an idea of what Hell must be :o) It is very hard to work in these conditions. The only positive point is I can keep my bonairian tan.

LOL Martine.
I guess there's no reason 4 u 2 go back 2 Bonaire than...
I'm sticking 2 the water if u don't mind.
I heard on the news 2 dutch people and 1 french girl were killed in a huge storm in the south-west of France near Bordeaux. Sounds like it was a horrible storm...

Good Morning Diana, Martine and Igor! Just one more day Martine! I hope the heat breaks for you soon, I'll send over the rain we had last night to cool things down. Thank-you for posting sunrises for me Igor and to Martine for tomorrow. Very sad news about the storm .

I have to test people at work today too, there are only 3 of us that come in early to get things done in the lab. (We have 17 people in there with 4 more to come!) We have some new flavoured coffees that I will give a try!

Anyway, I wish everyone a good day, and will see you this evening!

Hi Eileen!
Here is the first light of the day...

The day is here!

And on the other side...

Oops that one was supposed 2 be medium-sized like this

And yet from another side...

Early "birds"

The reefcam definitely can use the cleaning now. Probably the Yellow juve wrasse did mess it up yesterday, by using it as a scratching device.

It is to warm here, to work. Tomorrow it should be less hot, as the weather specialists say.

A fish-part

Good morning everyone,
Today I have off because I have to work half a day on sat. One of my fav times on bonaire was morning time got up around 6:30 and watch the sun rise and have earl grey tea.

Good morning Christine,
That sounds nice, drinking tea while watching the sunrise in Bon

Hi Christine!
I especially like the "in Bonaire"-part
Aaggh, 2 watch these colors 4 real... sigh

we have decided that 8 days is not enough time. So next time that we are going for 14 days. The lotto in fl today is up to 37 million told kids if we win that we will be on bonaire all summer long till they go back to school.

Good luck with the Lotto!!

3 in a row

Congratulations Diana!!!

thank you diana

I always wonder what Grendel is looking for, so early in the bon-morning?

Missed grendel earlier:

So u didn't even notice it Diana???
I found a capture of Juliette in the archives.

Can you explain it to me, Igor? I can't figure it out, what Grendel is trying to look at...

Well I wasn't talking about what Grendel is looking at. It might be the spooky shadows. I was congratulating u because you passed the 200-mark

Blue Tang passing by...

3 cars in a row

Hee, Igor, I didn't notice it!!!! Thanks.
Does the blue tang already have a name???
Or the new quizz for today: make up a name for the fish...

Diana, click on this link. I will take you to a page with all of the fish that have been seen on the cam. Click on the picture and you will get more pictures of the fish, plus a description of their behaviour, etc

Hi Cynde, good morning (for you I guess, here it is already late in the afternoon and still to hot to work!!)
Thanx for the link, I've been visiting the page before!! It really looks good. I was a bit lazy with the blue tang to check it out. Probably it is 'the no name yet'. So, we can still make up a name for it, right???
BTW: how is your PBD going?

Good morning Cynde.
Diana, I guess my name 4 the Blue Tang would be Piggy.
Because Het slaat als een tang op een varken

Yeah, Piggy is nice.
Here is another part of Piggy:

I think it really wants to be named, to show of for the cams every hour or so....

Igor, are you implying I am a piggy? I don't know if I like that name, I am so beautiful colorful...lots of folks come just to see ME you know

Here is someone who is not a relative of mine

Hi bluetang! I guess u have 2 change your username
Of course I'm not implying u (or your alter-ego ) are a pig. It's more of a pet name!
I would love 2 see u any time!!!

MMM, that makes things complicated, another Bluetang .
Piggy is actually a sweet name!

Igor, I know you weren't referring to my alter ego LOL! How bout "Ole' Blue" after the Bonaire dive site?

I thought it was sweet 2.
We could have Mr. and Ms. Piggy. I don't think u can distinguish the two sexes from the reefcam captures so we just have 2 guess.

Divers soon?

There he is...

Ok, Mr. and Mrs. Piggy

With some company

Bye to you too!!


And Cynde, you agree with Mr and Mrs Piggy.. or did I understand wrong?

Diane, you got it!

Looks the tattoo familiar to anyone? In CC rusty tried to magnify it, but it did not get any clearer

Good morning everyone! Okay, I think Bluetang deserves a little more respect than Piggy provides and someone might then more easily confuse a piggy with chubby or think there was more going on there between the two!! So I guess I have to vote for Ol'Blue with Cyndebloohoo!

and it's time for a new thread!

Good Morning Everyone!

From the archives: I'm trying to get the cam cleaned so everyone can see better!

Oops! That doesn't look very nice. Sorry, I used the wrong finger. I guess I need to go back to Bon and clean the cam with another finger.

i think the finger means greta doesn't really like the names "mr. and mrs. piggy" either ;)

we need a girl's name...maybe a little french...how about "suzy" ??? if the fish is a boy then we just have "a boy named sue"

Hi Spongebob! No comment on the choice of names for fishes. I really don't care either way. I'm not very creative, so I'll leave the naming to others.

Dang'it! I want to go clean the cam! Argh!
