February 9, 2023. Hard Rock Resort, Nuevo Vallarta. The Sunset Cruise.

 The cruise  was everything the four expected of the cruise...and more.  Even though Kenny and Anne have sailed into Nuevo Vallarta, they still wanted to take the sunset cruise so they could really see the towns without distractions.  So Wendy, Ken, Anne and Kenny took a sunset cruise of the Bay of Banderas.  The cruise began at 4:00 from the yacht club.  From there they cruised into Puerto Vallarta, to pick up 4 more people and to take a look at the town.  They cruised along the whole Malecon to see the statues and of course took multiple pictures of the photogenic church.

On the way to the islands they came upon 9 whales all doing what whales do, which is flapping their flippers and blowing water in the air.  They were very close to the whales so it was exciting for them to both see and hear the whales.  One man on the trip commented that he had seen more whales that evening than he had seen on a whale watching trip.  Only 30 people were on the boat with only our four on the second deck so they all had a birds eye view of the whales.

Some days from our condo we can see cliffs at the island but usually we can see only the shapes of the islands.  But on this sunset cruise they saw the rugged cliffs and the arches.  And on the way home, the sunset over the Pacific which was beautiful.  I stayed home and cheered them on.  The sunset cruise was everything they expected and more.
