Boat was wonderful. Rooms were small, but great otherwise. Plenty of hot water & plenty of a/c. Beutiful boat--lots of polished mahogany..... Seas were kind to us...the 22 hour crossings (each way) were some of the nicest down time we've every enjoyed. Sharks were up close & personal--grand experience. Manta experiences at El Boiler were world class--put Yap to shame...... These guys were big (18'), plentiful (usually 5), and giant puppies! Mating season for humpback whales--they were everywhere! Jumping in the distance, blowing all around us....got to snorkle with them and dolphins as well. Cannot tell you how exhilirating it was to hit the water and have numerous curious sharks (kinda' like barracudas do) come check you out face to face! The hammers were in untold numbers in Galapagos, but here the sharks (only 3 hammers all week) were in your face and not-threatening. A must do in this lifetime! |
