Sunset Cruise

This is how the operators describe their tour

   Afternoon delight  Sailing and Snorkelling Sunset Cruise.

There is only a small group of people on board, very calm waters.

First..

We turn off the motor and listen to the breeze as we sail on calm crystal clear water. Relaxing in the sun or shade, sailing along the beautiful coastline of Aruba, with a nice cold drink. Sounds good? There is more;

 We stop at Aruba's  most beautiful lagoon, Catalina bay. This is where the Million Dollar homes are and the water is crystal clear, we can see the colorful fish right off the boat.                                                                                                                The crowds, at this time of the day, are gone!            

At this tropical lagoon there is a opportunity to go snorkeling 

(we provide you with everything you need, every thing is clean and new)   

When everyone is back on board we serve  some watermelon, more drinks,  and our award 

winning Dutch Sandwiches (vegetarian) &  Dutch Grilled-Cheese Sandwiches   (note; this is not a dinner sail ) 

           (please note: Beer & wine not included, you are welcome to bring your own on board and your own ice cooler)

The best part..

Now we are lounging there in this beautiful lagoon and,... the Sunset starts to paint the lagoon in Sunset colors....... So very nice to be there at this time of the day..

Then..

After some cocktails we set sail for our "Romantic Sunset Sail" on the way back. Cocktails served with the famous grilled cheese-sandwiches.    

After the sun sets we are back at the dock by the Marriott,  perfectly relaxed ..

This was exactly what we experienced except for the fact that there were a couple of tropical rain showers. Quick soft showers lasting a few minutes. They were enough to get you wet but in the warm Caribbean sun it was not long before we were dry or almost dry again.

The rum drinks were very tasty and the chaise lounges were very comfortable. Neither Ken nor I got into the sea. Mary did snorkel and she said there was not a great variety of fish.

The sandwiches were very tasty. The sunset was wonderful and I got lots of photos that will be worth enlarging. For awhile we wondered about the sunset because another of those big black cloudbanks appeared. BUT someone was looking after us and the clouds and the shower held off until we got the green flash.

We got a van ride back to the ship. The van held all of us and the cost was only 14 dollars for the group. We gave him 20 dollars and that even seemed to be too little.

For supper we went to Horizon court and grabbed a snack. The rest of the gang was there also so we laughed and visited and finished our day with a smile. We are sure going to miss these guys when they disembark next week.

Tomorrow we are in Bonaire at the beach!
