Having taken extended leave from the Nautilus Explorer, it’s a great feeling to be back on board and working in the beautiful Revillagigedo archipelago. There’s nothing like some honest work, old (and new) faces and the sea air to blow off the cobwebs – not to mention the old familiar aches and pains as muscles […]
