Like my past trips, I will post the photos as I finish editing them. They are in the same order as the trip. Here's the first batch.

Lily helping me pack.


Aruba from the air.


Manchebo Beach (view for lunch)


A friend from Aruba

I called him Bird Poop Face

First Sunset from Eden Beach


Some sight from my first morning walk.

Good morning Cecil , as always I am amazed by your pictures.
Bird poop face èèèh??? Did you call him that in his face , did ya????


Keep them coming , nothing (legal) beats a boring nightshift than gorgeous pictures of Bonaire.

Sjosss

Cecil, glad to see that Lily helps you pack like ours help us! (well, ours get in the suitcases with their bones).

Beautiful pics! More to come right???

bring on the underwater shots Cecil...

Cecil, thanks - beautiful pictures!!

Beautiful... but that better not be all of them. HINT

Just a taste, remember I am posting them in order. At this point in the trip I had not done my checkout dive yet. I just finally counted the dives, 13 total in 5 1/2 days. Not bad.

Tonight is the first dive at Eden's Rubble.

The first thing we saw.


This is what it looks like from Willie back towards the cam.


Shrimp at cleaning station.


Peterson Shrimp


Customer

Possible best of (I like this one).

Red Hind


Spanish Hogfish


A couple of shots of the cable repair crew.

Keep 'em coming Cecil! Glad you took some of the repair crew...much better image than from the webcam!

I love the repair crew pics! Beautiful underwater photos!

YES!!! Can not wait for today's installment:-{)}

Cecil, Great shots!!!! You just love teasing us....just a little at a time!

Tom, were you and Seb twins separated at birth? I swear, I had to look at that picture for a long time and was trying to figure out how Cecil photoshoped you into it! Plus, it's early here on the west coast (early for me you know) and I'm just now getting my caffeine fix.

Cecil, great shots...your photo skills are really getting great! Something for me to aspire to

I came back looking for more...quess I'm early...

Tim what can I tell you it was killer commute.

Tonight's shots are from the East side with Bas. Several of these break my distance rules (to far), but sometimes you have to have the shot.

A huge Grouper


Two sleeping turtles.



Proud to say I did not wake either (well, at least they did not swim).

Eagle Ray Squadron


Big old cooperative Green Moray.


Second night sunset


All for tonight, I'm beat (and pealing).

Cecil, great pictures! I love the eel with the cleaner goby on it!

Better grab another bottle of lotion!

Hey Cecil , great pictures again , thanks for sharing them .

Must have been a helluffe job to set up the tripod , set the selftimer and jog infront of the camera to get evidence of your athletic skills in that second night sunset picture.

LOL.

Sjoss

great stuff Cecil

Thanks as always for sharing Cecil. Bonaire is a close second to Folly Cove, wouldn't you say?

Cynde, I doubt it. My bandanas are all red or blue;-{)}

Tom, yes, real close (like Pat Robertson and Hugo Chavez).

Tonight's additions. Second east side dive.

A couple of more turtles.




Some Tarpon from the Tarpon hole.

Mislabeled the second picture, it's a large Grouper and Green Moray and the first of the shots I call strange bedfellows.

Eagle Rays


Bas and a buddy.


Third Night Sunset

Cecil, Are you still using the Sonny?? Your pictures are great!!!!

Thanks for taking us diving with you again, Cecil! Another thank you to ya'll for repairing the cable, too. Carole

Darlene, yes I am still using the 3 megapixel Sony and internal flash.

The next group is from Tuesday which was a 4 dive day. Two on Eden's Rubble and two at Windsock, some good stuff in those dives.
