Poor Carlea! Everybody send her sunshine and hugs today - she's got it bad! LOL

And Charlotte is out and about already...

Bluebeard - the Bluehead Wrasse is hanging out, too...

Bluebeard again... counting his wives:

Just a note fromm Bonaire-Divi Flamingo, The weather is great, the fish are fantastic, the only downer is it is a little cloudy past few days and colors aren't as bright, but not complaining!! Wish all you BT'ers could be here with me. I am "pretty in Pink" on the reefcam the other day. By the way, on Thurs there was a WHALE ! and a pod of dolphins! Didn't see the whale, don't know what kind it was but did see the dolphins.
Happy New Year From Bonaire!
Barb

Sigh. I can just picture Barb. There's a little internet kiosk just to the left of the open air registration desk, behind a rattan couch with tropical print cushions (aarrrrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!) I'm sooooooo jealous!!!! Hope you're having a great time...

Diving action:

Barb is in paradise. Waah. We're here in the mundane world - green with envy. The next best thing to being there - the cams!

The divers:

now that those pesky diver are gone we can go play.....

Stoplight and assorted fishies:

Here's a cool pic of Charlotte with what I think is a crustacean just above her head...

pretty in pink..i am green with envy...raining here in so ca again today...deb, what about sitting at the chibi chibi wathing the parrots, damsels, faries, puffers while you eat!

Wonder if we'll get a dbl-post here... Hi Cynde!



Satchmo - doing his soft coral imitation:

Great parrotfish (cropped):



And an ?Angelfish?

hi rusty, kinda slow today...i will email you...my painting project has turned into a small "remodel" as my hubby decided to get involved!

Another fish just hanging out - Cynde, you should be, too... too much work on your vacation isn't good for you!

Hi Everyone!
Just popping in to wish you all a happy new year!

I'm having a great holiday, so nice not to be at work! Snow here in the UK, but lovely & sunny, went for a walk today across the fields complete with hipflasks with whiskey in to keep us warm... mmmm!

Had to check up on Bonaire to see what's been going on though, as you do!

HAPPY 2002!

Hey Cynde: Have your doggies seen this page yet?

A ?surgeonfish and friend:

rusty, that is too much fun! what a crackup gotta love those weiner dogs

Ok, Miss Cynde Lee; first you post that very misunderstood street cam picture, then you further add to my PBD misery by reminding me of the great entertainment at the Chibi Chibi! I forget though, where thouse species you mentioned underwater or just the usual suspects in the bar? Is it too early for wogga wogga? ;->.
Your Pal....
Deb.

lol deb...i think i did see a couple of those mentioned at the bar! not too early for wogga wogga here...it's sunday you know

oh, deb, i SWEAR i woulnd't have even been able to find that pic except you led me right too it and it was just toooo tempting! at least you weren't diving like a "girl" with a purple hat and thong! now, do like i said and take that trophy and pour a glass of wogga wogga and dream of parrots, damsels, and puffers...oh my!

looks like goldie, blijke, and grendel have a visitor...not don Q...maybe "lucky?"

Yes M'am!!!!! When Mr. Everlast raises an eyebrow to my 3:30 pm glass of cheer, i'll tell him (if he's good), I may make an appearance in a hat and purple thong later. (don't have any purple hats......) That should pique his everlastin' interest! Have a great one...sip, sip...
Deb.

Just wanted to say THANKS to all of you for the wonderful images and commentary about Bonaire. We have decided to return again this year, after a year's hiatus, to enjoy the great diving and wonderful people. I am now counting the days till we get there... again thanks for the New Year's gift.

I'd heard there were some whales hanging around. Patty and Mark Orlovsky's son saw one on Tuesday or Wednesday when he was down by the Salt Pier (I think -- I was on Heineken #3 when he relayed the story). Didn't see any dolphins, though. That would have been awesome.
