Snorkle tour boat.
Since the official tour is 5 hours, and we didn't need to use all the time travelling to the original further destination, we were wined and dined while they put up one of the sails.
With the sail unfurled, we made good speed back south, towards the original destination.
At one point, the engines were cut, and in the mechanical silence, a hydrophone was lowered to check for whale song. We were in luck, that, or they had bought a pre-loaded unit!
There was quite a difference in clothing choices. "Mr. and Mrs. Black" were always completely covered.
At 4.98 hours into our alloted 5 hours, we prepared for our beach landing. None of the sunbathers seemed too concerned.
Getting off of the boat was equally fun, and also had to be timed between the waves.
Otherwise, you were going to get quite wet!
While snorkling, I took a close look at the bow. The sand has removed most of the paint already. Same on the stern.
And they're off! They had to get ready for the evening "Sunset Sailing Party"... Seriously. The boat and crew are kept quite busy.
Yuko bows a farewell! Actually, she's washing the sand off of her feet and sandals...
Walking back through the hotel at the departure beach. Certainly a different environment from where we are staying. A bit older, and less fit looking here.
