I know you worry about us so I wanted to let you know everything is fine. After everyone hit the water this morning, you can feel the tension went out and everybody is so much more relaxed now.
I went to the grocery store and got drinks and juices for happy hour tonight. I also bought fruits and watermelon for snacks. I brought nuts and munchies on the plane with me so we are set. We got a cooler for the week when we are out on the beaches diving.
Yes, we can take care of ourselves. We got maps and dives descriptions so we could pick and choose the sites.
As of right now, we split up with the more adventurous divers hitting the harder sites without the newbies to slow them down and others doing more relaxing dives. Sandy went with the guys (Jeff and Rick) so she is in good hands. Norm and Teresa may head out this afternoon after she got her hair braided (yes, I hooked her up with a local who does hair)Keith is going through his stack of books for the nitrox and advance class. As for me, I'm going to take a nap to catch up on sleep
Still having fun,
Que

I received a PM from Que (Sea Urchin) with a preliminary report of our adventurous crew's first day. It sounds as all is well & they are all set to have a fantastic time! Hopefully, we'll get more on the spot reports but it'll be kind of hard between the amazing diving & the lack of easy internet access. Let the diving begin! (posted with permission):

Thanks Marvel for the update. Sounds like they are all having a great time. Let us know if you hear anything else.

What would be cool would be if we could get them synchronize a time with us to be at awebcam so we could all see them down there!!!
There are old divers and there are bold divers, but there ain't no old, bold divers.

Yeah guys that would be a great plan, but I here one of Mandrake's monkey clan made of with the only known web-cam in Bonaire, just this past weekend...

Darn those monkeys!!! But you can't blame them--they're wild animals, you know. But I heard they've been riding the iguanas and that's going a little too far.

GREAT idea! For those who don't already know, Bonaire has it's own site called Boniare Talk, which has a message board filled with all kinds of interesting insider info & trip reports. They also have webcams set up in various spots on the island, including underwater. Visitors will often set up a time with their friends & go to one of the webcams & wave to the folks back home- both over & under the water. Signs are often used & it's pretty cool to watch. Here's a link to the BeachBarCam, which is located at Bongo's Beach Bar & Restaurant at Eden Beach Resort. I gave Que the link to this thread- maybe we can coordinate a viewing!

I'll see what I can do about coordinating time and let y'all know. We are way too busy having fun but will try to chase down those monkeys and get the camera back and give you a day notice.

We sweet-talked those mona monkeys into returning the cameras. However, they left it at a different site. We will head over to the beach-bar web-cam at Bongo's at the Eden Resort around 10:30 PM Eastern time with our SD banners and our very own Mermaid.

I missed the viewing. But they will all be back soon and I am hoping for a full report and tons of pictures.
