Private Sunset Cruise!

We splurged on a private boat tour and are so glad that we did.  The alternative was a catamaran that had 40 people on it who standing the whole time.   Our boat was a 29 foot fishing boat with a captain and a guide.  Its name was the Boomba Boom.  It was run by coral yacht tours and was fabulous. 
Our guide , Andres, is studying to be a biologist, he knew Aldo our guude from earlier that day and he recognized me from earlier at Manuel Antonio  Park 
El Capitan
We left Quepos at 4:45 PM  and immediately headed out to find. Dolphins 
The sun lit up the cliffs with a golden light.
The capitan looks for birds diving into the water and that is an indicator of Dolphins feeding.  We quickly saw several Caribbean spotted dolphins cruising next to the boat.  Talk about a tricky photo to get!  I took 20 shots and got two random splashes and one good shot.

Because we were backlit, I made sure the mustache was in the picture 
Nothing but birds on this island
Beautiful golden light
Red sun going down.  Since there appeared to be showers in the distance I was hopeful for the green flash,  but not this time.
Great ripples 
Time to call it a day
