A short cab ride to the dock where we’re met by John (JW), whose yacht “Reflections” is the “private yacht” part of this trip. But, JW has plans for us before we go aboard Reflections so he picks us up at the dock with “Blackwood II”, the 30 foot Osprey which serves as the tender and fishing boat for Reflections.

As we pull away from the dock JW says, “Before we go to Reflections, we’re gonna go right over here and look at whales.”
Here’s a few of the hundred or so whales we saw…
When my finger got tired from all the photos I took JW said, “Time to go to Reflections”.

| Wowsa! Niuce boat; a 100 or so foot Broward. JW invented the rotary engine. |
We’re met at the stern by JW’s wife Annie (what a sweetie), Captain Charles (English and “propah”), Chef Mike (a cookin’ fool), and Taylor (Stewardess extraordinaire).
Then there's a quick tour of the interior guest areas and engine room…

After dinner we spend the evening on some "gettin' to know yuhs" and then it's off to bed 'cause tomorrow we're fishin'.
