    You doos, of course you should go there. although it is a bit like visiting Disney World. In order to control the crowds and preserve the islands there is a 35 boat armada that sails two three or four locations together and that’s it. This doesn’t really detract from the beauty and serenity of the place. You will still feel like doing Tai Chi all the time. Even with all the boats.
    An alternative is to sail on your own for a week. This I’d like to do one day too. The water is cool but there is some coral so it can’t be too cool in the right places.
    The little hills that butt up out of the water look like one monolith from a distance until you get closer, then the closer ones take on a different shade. Eventually you see that they are separate hills. Luckily I was wearing my glasses.
