UW Photo Comments	If you have the chance, don't pass up this trip. Well worth the time, money and effort. Can't say enough about the Humboldt crew. Everyone made a effort to make the trip enjoyable, easy and safe. They start you out easy in the southern islands and then move up to Wolf and Darwin where the excitement really begins. Strong currents, and tons of fish. There was so much to take pictures of that you were almost shooting continually. It may sound intense, and it was, but the crew really made you feel safe from getting on and off the inflatables to making sure everyone stays together. The crossings to Wolf and Darwin were 18 - 20 hours but the water was calm while we were there. Accommodations excellent, food plentiful and good, plenty of beer and wine along with mixed drinks. Can't beat it. Would definitely put this on your bucket list. I'm sure glad I did.
