Thanks Steve! I am so excited after reading your trip report, we just booked this boat for June!!!! They have a money back policy for hammerhead sightings right?

UWBB:

Which boat did you book. Explorer or the Exuma?

Hey Gtoph:

Long time my friend. Glad to hear you're getting the opportunity to get out and dive.

I hear that itinerary is really nice. Hope you have a GREAT trip. Pictures and report when you return.

Steve: Thanks for the detailed report. I did the NE Carib (Saba, Statia, St Kitts) on CE II this Jan, and earlier today booked the CE II for the transition trip Aug 29. Sounds like an entirely different crew from the one I had on the Jan. trip.

Steve - Thanks for taking the time to write while on your trip. Your report was very informative and helpful. Can't wait to see some pictures. CEXII sounds like a together operation!
Thanks again,
Lori

In reference to the crew, from talking to them, they had been together for the last several months, but the day we left, Ken, Austin and Curtis flew out with us. A new cook came on-board to work with Jane for a week, before she left. Only Capt Dave and Demi were going to be there in 2 weeks. All new crew other than them, although I understood some of them were returning crew members who had worked on the CEXII before. I think this is pretty normal in the live-aboard industry as I've experienced this on both Blackbeard's and the Nekton Pilot in my previous trips.
