Ann Corless sent us this note and photos:

Attached are two photos taken on the Star Clipper Andaman Sea cruises this past January/February (we did two back to back cruises of the North and South Islands).

We really enjoyed seeing the sailors on the mast the day we were able to take photos of the ship from the tenders.

The monitor lizards were a big surprise when we had a beach barbecue on one of the uninhabited islands. The lizards came out of the bushes and were eating off people’s plates and knocking over cans. The crew kept throwing shovels of sand on them to no avail. One lizard even licked a friend’s bare back! Another gave my husband a big whack on his leg with its tail. They were up to five feet long! Quite an experience.
