Costa Rica's Manuel Antonio, Quepos Sunset Sail

For a different view of Costa Rica's Manuel Antonio, Quepos and neighboring Puntarenas beaches go on a sail boat.

The one we booked was through Costa Rica Sunset Sails in Quepos. They market the sail is as a sunset sail -- which funny enough was at 9 a.m. in the off season (to beat the rain, they say).

We saw a hunchback whale that played about 100 feet from the boat. We anchored and went snorkeling (Man! Those fish aren't shy!). And the captain fed us fish, rice, pineapple and ice cream!

Our captain's name was Minor and he was a gem! When he welcomed me on the boat, he said "Before the sail is over, you and I will have plans." "Oh, really?"" I said. Of course, we didn't but I think it was more due to his attraction to men than to anything else. :) The sail lasted about three hours. The water was rough when we went out and many people got a little seasick. But Minor swears it's only rough after a heavy rain.
