Summary:
On the boat Oversea we had the kindest crew, best historic info, great food, most fun cruise! The captain really knows his boat and how to maneuver it so we had a smooth ride. He also set up the sails for a while which in itself was entertaining! The land is so beautiful and interesting from the sea view and swimming in the warm caldera was a treat experience!
