Some pictures of the journey and Puerto Ayora, Archipelago de Colon - Christopher Columbus again!The Las Perlas Islands were beautiful and deserted.
 but we did not have enough time there. However they belong to Panama.
We crossed the Equator and gave Neptune a tot of rum.
We are now in the southern hemisphere!
Mark practised with the sextant wearing his new hat--- a present from Camelot as they were embarrassed to be seen with him in the old one!
We arrived in the Galapagos--802 miles, 180 hours @ 4.45 knots and 70.3 hours motori sailing under engine. We are on Santa Cruz island and there is masses of wildlife already.
including Lonesome George who is over a hundred years old!
