At 19:00 our naturalist guide, Johnny Romero gave us the first of our nightly briefings to go over plans for the next day. After the briefing we had a good dinner in the dining room. We aren’t sailing tonight, so we met some of the other passengers before turning in. There are 16 of us on board: seven Americans, three Swiss, two Italians, a Dane, and three Canadians. I have been on many tours over the years, and this was the best group I have ever met - we got along extremely well with all of them. Peter was especially pleased to have three other children to hang out with.
