The Captain!



Oil 'N' Water was the boat we had chartered, but we got to go on the Extreme Machine with the Frequent Floaters.

People seem to like to take pictures of this house




One of the guides - wish I could remember his name - he turned out to be a hero! Later, when we went through the rocks a different group was coming from the opposite direction. When one of that party fell down a ladder our guide flew over to break his fall - getting pretty well squished in the process. I'm sure our guide was to some extent hurt, but never let it interfere with him doing his job. Meanwhile, I'm not sure I have ever seen a less grateful person than the one the fell. At least some others in both groups appreciated the efforts of our guide. I guess that's all I'm going to say about that.



Approaching Devils Bay - we were the only ones here - but not for long...
