We upped anchor at 7am this morning from South Plaza and headed off to North Seymour, a relatively short 2 hour passage.
However, as i thought we had slept in and it was 8am, Matt got a bit of a shock to hear the anchor chain rattling 2 inches from his face (he is currently sleeping on the trampoline next to the windlass) as a wake-up call.

North Seymour is a kind of bird island, with many nesting Blue Footed Boobies and Magnificent Frigate birds.

We walked along the paths, with Blue footed Boobies, Iguanas and Frigate birds all nesting within a hand's reach!

This Boobie was truly magnificent!

The team took time to explore, despite the heat of the day and the length of the walk!

Daisy particularly liked examining the remains.....
