Hi All

 

Just a quick catch up. We have been land touring for the last 5 days, seen 3 other islands which are all ok. I think sailing we are spoilt so Galapagos not as special as we would have imagined.

We took a ferry from San Cristobel to Santa Cruz, well ferry is stretching the truth, they are small power boats with 600hp out board! Very wet very bumpy. We went to the Darwin center and saw lonesome George, last of his species so they breeding him with a similar guy. We cant see any difference between all the species.

We have seen marine Iguanas and turtles, penguins etc all interesting. We took anther ferry to Isabella stayed in a guest house which was nice. Saw an active volcano did some hikes and looked at the wild life.

We are now going back to the boat, it sounds like the sea lions have got passed our barricades and invaded the cockpit so lots of mess to clean up when we get back (another boat informed us on the radio)

Then we refuel and off 20 days for our longest crossing. Will keep everyone informed.

Sorry no pics, may try before we leave
