I am at the airport to meet up with the group.  The boat (pictured above) is a strange blend of fishing and houseboat.  There are 4 guest cabins.  I will be sharing mine with a 20 year-old girl from Denmark. The other passengers include 2 more young women from Denmark, an older couple from Portugal and a gal from Los Angeles.  Seven of us and a crew of 5, the captain, cook and three deck hands.

As you can see, our boat is equipped for the task at hand, snorkeling and more snorkeling.

I have posted an image of our proposed route below.  We expect to be traveling this route counter-clockwise.
