New thread for the afternoon!!

Rusty...you do good work & have excellent suggestions...a new thread for example!

Good Morning/Afternoon all BT'ers

Sure have missed a lot...have been "down" with that nasty flu since Monday! What a bummer. Feeling better now...at last! Although I sure did miss my daily medicine of the webcams!

I did luck out workwise on Wednesday & Thursday: the University was closed because of the ice storm that hit us...sound familar all of you on the Right Coast?

Afternoon Barbara, We never got the ice and snow that the upstaters did. Actually it was quite warm here 50's until today!!! It's windy and cold 35 Burrr the wind doesn't help either!!

yikes barbara...glad you are feeling better though!

Have we ever had the world famous Scuba Barbie on cam? According to a couple sites I glanced at - she's an internet legend! She can't be a legend until she's been on the Bonaire Reef Cam. You know, like Marc!

Freddie...glad it missed you. Wasn't fun! Wichita is supposed to get up to the 40's today. We have weird weather swings!

Cynde...Thank You! My doc sent out something called Tigan...I'm sure it would have worked, but I couldn't keep it down now THAT should have been a clue!!

How true is that Rusty!!!!
Maybe Barbara needs the chicken soup!!!

Barbara - good to have you back in the swim! We got ice ice ice but not very many cancellations since BOSTON at the other end of the state missed most of it and corporate headquarters are never sympathetic to the westerners out here.

Can anyone with a second or third language handy - read the signs from earlier?

Barbara, Since we are very near the water, most of the real nasty weather bypasses us, The water temps keep the land temps up I guess. Everything but the hurricanes that is!! Up island they seem to get the ice storms and more snow than we do. Weird just 10 miles away and its a whole different forecast...

Freddie, Thank you for the chicken soup! I'll wait to have it tomorrow, though...not ready for food yet. I grew up near Milwaukee, and the weather folks always said "Cooler/Warmer near the lake" depending upon the season. Must be the same for you since you are near the water. Neat GIF!

It's good to be back, Cynde, but I'm about ready to go back to beddy...rats

Hope you feel better real soon

I wanna play on the beach, too!

The lifeguards are standing by:

Freddie...Thanks for your Beddy Bye GIF! Exactly what I needed. It's off to beddy I go in a few momentitoes...or, colour me gone !

Happy Saturday, everyone!

I wondered where you went Rusty..Surfing the net huh!!

Freddie, yeah I went by Millanimations site to see what he'd made for GHD - he's a real artiste with a funny sensayuma!

Here's a really nice parrotfish of unknown species:

LOL that one is soo cute LOL

hello Rusty, in the previous thread you posted a picture of a boat racing by, maybe nice to know which boat?, its the "boebi glasbottom boat" sure we can forget seeing their clients, their nice and dry up in the sub part of the boat.
its 1 of 3 glassbottom boats we have on Bonaire.

Ah, for the beaches of Bonaire. Meanwhile up north we just finished celebrating our annual Drowned Hog Day here in Hull. As long as all participants go under, Spring is just around the corner. Air temp 28F with a steady 30mph wind. Not bad compared to two years ago when they had to use a front end loader to clear a path for the swimmers to get through the ice on the beach. Raised a lot of money for the local food pantry though. (No I didn't go in--but my daughter did.)

Marc, thank you! You know I went on a glass bottom boat in the Keys and HAD to learn to dive after seeng what I was missing out on underwater. The reefs were really nice there and the fish were swimming in thick schools and we saw turtles and I couldn't wait to get fins and tanks and jump in!

John - what can I say about that?? Two words: IN SANE!

Here's Charlotte

Rusty and everyone else, Jake has got the membership for the web cams up and going did you see the highlighted rectangle at the bottom of the webcam page???

Hope you feel better soon Barbara.

John - I won't go in the water if it's below 87, those people are nuts.

My hubby's been complaining about the hot weather we've had for the last 2 weeks. Poor baby, had to fly to Tulsa last wednesday - just in time for the ice/slush. complained about that too. Just no pleasing some people. LOL

AND THE TOP TOO!!!

This is a nice shot of Charlotte and one of the armed fishes - surgeon? Tang?

Couple more fishies!

Sunset.

John - didn't it turn out lovely tonite? Looks like a kaleidoscope! (Did you go in today - or just your daughter? Wasn't sure if you meant this year or two years ago.)

Night Diver and good night, cammers! See you tomorrow...

rusty, absolutely fabulous panorama!

Thanks Cynde! It was an amazing sky - like Fantasia or something.

Here's a groundhog who missed the big day:
