Day 162: Cap’t Andy’s Cruise! Part 10

Okay, I did find a few more whale photos… *** *** *** ~Curtis off the Napali Coast! {!-{>

Day 161: Cap’t Andy’s Cruise! Part 9

Sunset.  It is billed as a Sunset Dinner Cruise, after all!  Note the other sailboat on the horizon. *** I don’t know if it deliberately ran in front of the sun or not, but it is a big ocean to sail in… *** Our Captain. One of the crew took these for us. She hit […]

Day 160: Cap’t Andy’s Cruise! Part 8

A Whale Free post!  I promise!  But what’s THAT??? … Over there! That Splash! (Darned bouncy boat…) It’s a, it’s a, it’s a…Spinner Dolphin! And a pair by Cap’t Andy’s newest boat, the Southern Star! After this brief non-Whale stop, we were off again for our port and the setting sun! ~Curtis off the Napali […]

Day 159: Cap’t Andy’s Cruise! Part 7

Day 157: Cap’t Andy’s Cruise! Part 5

Past the Pacific Missile Range Facility is the start of the Napali Coast. Of course, we can’t forget the NASA Tracking Site! One of our sister ships sailing in the sun…never mind the Whale blowing on the horizon! Some of the best beach accommodations are actually the cheapest!  You just have to be in the […]

Note: How >>Not<< to Photograph Whales...

…or other things from a small boat!   I think I mentioned somewhere that I missed a lot of good photos on Cap’t Andy’s Cruise.  It wasn’t their fault!  I took too much lens (my 400mm).  When the boat is bouncing up and down two or three feet it is really hard to keep that […]
