The M/Y Eric —
One of the three ships owned by Ecoventura, and our home for the next
seven days, waiting for us in the harbor of Isla Santa Cruz as our plane
arrives.

 |
The Cast —
The passengers for our week's cruise: in addition to me and Erin, there
are five men, and seven women, pretty much all of them named Barbara.
(Not pictured here: Barbara, taking the photo.)

Our Leaders —
To the left, our guides Renato and Javier, and to the front, our
very young Ecuadorian captain, raising a glass to all of us.

 |
Our Man Hugo —
Every time we returned from going ashore, there was our favorite crew
member of all: Hugo, the bartender/waiter. There wasn't a mouth among
us that didn't water up like one of Pavlov's dogs in anticipation for
his snacks.

 |
Cliff-side Soccer —
The crew of our boat challenges the members of another ship in James
Bay to a riveting soccer game on the edge of a cliff. (I'd hate to be
the one to have to chase after an out-of-bounds kick on this field.)
