Butterfly Farm Visit and Snorkel

The morning started with the third largest privately owned yacht in world cruising in the bay. See http://www.yachtcrew-cv.com/paulallen.htm for additional details, but the yacht has two helicopters, 7 boats, and a 10 man submarine that can sleep 8 and say under for two weeks. It cost Paul Allen $200 million to purchase, and about $20 million to operate each year.

After breakfast we headed out to the Butterfly Farm and enjoyed a few hours with the butterflies. The photos are both mine and Trudy’s; she grabbed the camera from me and took a bunch of shots. After the farm we headed out to Lac Cai, which is the far side of the bay from the windsurf location. We then headed back to the unit for some lunch. A nap occurred, and we got up after lunch around 3pm.

We headed out for a snorkel at Andrea I. This was followed with a swim in the pool and later dinner on the balcony; we had French Bistro take out.

Below are a few shots from the day:
