Comet ISON
will be in the sky at both dusk and dawn according to Dr. Sky,®
"Indeed, northerners will see it at both dusk and dawn."
The
latest predictions suggest a comet as large as Hale-Bopp,
but then again, "They are just predictions," says Steve
Kates who is the host of the Dr. Sky® radio program which launches
from News Talk 92.3 KTAR Phoenix, AZ and is heard on
many affiliates throughout
the nation.
Steve
regularly gives talks throughout Arizona on Astronomy and is a
frequent television guest on the subject of the "sky."
Steve will be giving daily lectures on the sky along with
leading comet observation and photography.
The
cruise on the Star Flyer begins Sunday December 1st in Puerto
Caldera, Costa Rica. On Monday you will be at sea, observing
the comet at both dawn and dusk. Sail this week to: San
Juan del Sur, Nicaragua,
Playa de Coco, Costa Rica, Cuanjiniquil, Playa
Flamingo, Islas Tortugas and Puerto Caldera.
With
five full days ashore you will have time to go horseback riding,
zip-lining, go boating on a river,
take a water slide down a mountain, climb volcanos, buy coffee or
soak in hot springs. Costa Rica is for active vacationers, but then
again you may just sit on the ship and smell the salt air!
The
360 foot long Star Flyer has almost an acre of sails and 85 well
-appointed cabins. She has many amenities of a big cruise
ship. She sails most of the time trying to keep the
fuel bills low. The itinerary is designed to give the maximum amount
of time ashore, and to be at sea at night. The low number of
passengers offers a more intimate experience not found on big cruise
ships.
The
Star Flyer offers a full range of shore
excursions, water sports, and onboard activities.
The onboard dive
shop is a hit with many clients. With a
maximum of about 170 guests, you will be on an off the ship in a
jiffy every day!
