The Pacific Lives up to Its Name

Us on the beach waiting for the boat (upper right in Pic)

 Although we did take in a Sales Hype tour of the time shares, most of our time in Playa del Coco was very pleasant and we deeply enjoyed our stay with Jeff and Jane.  We decided we would take an excursion the next day.  We had several choices, but price was a factor.  We ended up taking the excursion on a large Catamaran sail boat that was designed to hold over 75 people.  We met the rest of the guests for the day on the water on the beach, not too far from the timeshare.  The boat was too large to come to the shore, so they shuttled us from the beach to the catamaran on a smaller power boat.

The crew of the catamaran had us take off our shoes and stow them in a big box as we climbed aboard.  They are very cautious about scratching the finish by bringing sand on board with our shoes.

Jeff had to get a picture of my wind blown hair.
The boat was much larger than we expected.  The below deck area was also more austere that we would have thought.  That was because that area only served as a kitchen and dining area, sometimes for up to 70 people.  The bathroom facilities were off that dining area and down a short flight of stairs.

The sunset on our return to the beach was beautiful.
