Good evening friends, first I want to say, please stop asking me for 25 guilders!!  I made that mistake once and it won’t happen again!  I received countless e-mails today saying you will watch my car and even help me out of the ocean for 25 guilders, ha, ha very funny, so I’m a gullible white boy what can I say!?  I guess if you can’t look back and laugh at your mistakes “and I admit this one is funny” then well, oh heck I’m sure I will do this again who am I kidding?!  We are headed back to the Pen Resort beach tomorrow morning so it will be interesting to hear what he (Michael) has to say about all this, stay tuned!
 
I keep forgetting to ask my local friends if they would like to help watch the whale??  It can be for an hour during the day, or anytime at night or thru the morning hours they really need your help!!  Please call me at 661-5795 or the Whale Hotline at 696-6926, some of these volunteers are worn out, they have been there day in and day out anytime you can donate is appreciated!
 
Your photo this evening is of one of the most spectacular Row Pore Rope Sponge colonies I have ever seen in Curacao!  I found this beauty at Santa Cruz a few months back and have wanted to get back there again to search the area better. 
 
We sold some driftwood furniture tonight and took an order for a driftwood toy box something I haven’t built yet but have some fun ideas!
 
We just finished dinner, chicken on a stick on the BBQ, yummy!  Aimee is busy Skyping Emily at the moment, we sure miss her, she was such a great guest!!
 
See you tomorrow, Barry
