“When we first arrived, I felt so blessed to be watching seabirds and dolphins in the water, but then you see a boom and you realize that this may be the last time for a while that you get to take a clean photo. We all just have to hold onto hope that we will recover.”—Jacquelyne Froeber, travel editor
