I would like to thank you all for your help finding us and I've read all the posts on 29 pages and it was real fun and interesting to read. I was surprised in how everybody wanted to help Aquahound in returning the camera to it's owner by mailing to friends who work in aviation or by googling for words etc. Great how you all worked together! I hope we will never loose a camera again but if we do I know who to contact haha. The turtle was fun too, it gave an extra touch to this story. I will never forget this and a great story to tell everyone. Thanks guys (and girls)!

Greetings Mandy

This is hilarious! I was just approached by a woman at school who asked me if I lost my camera and we have. That was in november and she told me that a turtle caught it and that our pictures were on it. I can't stop smiling, this is unbelieveble! All the way from Aruba! I gave my adress to this woman so she will contact you aquahound1. Thanks a lot!

Mr. Bruin - I am very excited to get your camera back to you. Hunting you down was a challenge. The woman you spoke to has been a great help. I'm still amazed it floated all the way to Key West. I will be shipping it Fed-Ex to you tomorrow.

Howdy Mandy! Welcome to Scubaboard, a big place we call home. Sorry it took so long....

Thanks for posting, Mandy. Are you the woman Julia met with? Is that you in the restaurant photo? You'll have your camera, Ikelite housing, and memory card shortly.

By the way, this is the anchor where they were working on underwater and where they lost the camera. It's now a WW II monument on the Marine Barracks Savaneta to remember 4 dutch militaries who died on Eagle Beach Aruba while trying to disarm a torpedo fired by a German submarine U-156.

Yes, that's me in the restaurant photo and Julia approached me at the Schakel with this amazing story. 6 months of drifting in the ocean! That's a great housing indeed To bad you don't live next door or else we could have taken you and your wife to dinner but there wouldn't be a story if we lived next door Maybe you can send it by FedEx on my expense? I don't know if they do that?
