Yolita II Cruise - Sun, 24 Mar - Part 1

Bon Voyage


i leave today on a 16 passenger yacht called Yolita II ... for 8 days ....   :)
there is no WiFi on board, so you won't be hearing from me for awhile ... or maybe i'll just 'sail into the sunset'  :)

i found this photo online ... they told me it was a First Class boat .. but this clearly states 'good mid-range'  .... hummmmmmmmmm  ....

i signed up for this Cruise with some hesitation.   8 days is the most time i've ever spent on a boat (pardon me ... Yacht)  .. by 5 days .... and ... it seems like a long time to be with 15 other 'tourists' .... what if i don't like any of them  :)     ...at least i don't think they will be 18-19yr olds  :(

we will be snorkeling and/or doing walking tours every day, and sailing to our next destination at night; so it really isn't 8 days on a boat.

I've loaded another map on my blog site showing the destinations.   if you click on the 'ship icon' you should get the date, name of location, and a short description that i found in some literature.    whether it's true, or if i'll actually see what they say, ... well ... you'll just have to wait for my blog when i get back .... and don't hold your breath.   i can't imagine how long it will take me to upload the photos from 8 days of multi-activities.

Please excuse the lines on the Google map ... that program does not work very well  ...more frustration    :(     ...it should be interactive ... zoom in, out, etc.

Here is the 'interactive' map ... if you zoom in, you will be able to locate the starting point, Baltra, which is just north of Santa Cruz Island ...
