I spent the last 3 days (March 14-16) on the Kiana. This is one of only 2 boats which goes all the way to the outer reef, instead of just around the islands. It is also a dive boat which of course is really good - you only see so much of the reef when you are snorkeling. It is a sailing ship, but most of the time we were under engine power.
The boat had a crew of three: The captain who was also the marine engineer (responsible for repairs/maintenance as well as running the boat), the cook, and the dive instructor. In the interest of people's privacy I will leave out names, but they are a great crew. All very friendly and happy to answer any questions. I really have to emphasis that they worked very hard the whole time to make sure us passengers had a relaxed and enjoyable trip.
The back part of the boat's deck is covered, so you can be on deck and still out of the sun/rain. This was especially nice because you get a lot less seasick on deck, and it was a bit blustery the first day out. The limit of 14 passengers meant that there was lots and lots of room - fitting everybody on the either the back or front deck was not a problem.
Now to make another 3 entries for each of the days... :)
