The photos from the sail away.

 

 

 

Precarious peaks

 

An orchard carved out of the hillsides

 

Could be a type of citrus

 

Wooded hills

 

A communication tower

 

The Pearl Resort

 

Many boats in the bay today

 

It was obvious that people lived on these vessels

 

All decorated for the party

 

Homes hidden on the hillsides

 

Cool boats

 

A very peaceful, quiet bay

 

Great place to hike

 

A home high on the hills

 

Wonderful views

 

Boats are like floating hotels

 

Love the costumes

 

Always posing for photos

 

Marinated chicken skewers at sail away

 

The last tender boat at 5:30pm

 

Getting ready to leave

 

A lucky sighting of a ray

 

Where are all the people?

 

Volcanic cliffs

 

Small fishing boat

 

The sun was setting around 6pm

 

The skies actually had some patches of blue

 

It never did rain

 

Time to leave

 

We'll be back, God-willing

 

Starting to get dark

 

And also cooling off a bit
