We arrived in the Galapagos on the 9th march and
have been diving and touring Santa Cruz but elected not to go on an extended
islands cruise as we were reluctant to leave Norsa at anchor for more than one
day.
The area is teeming with wild life butI
I think that we have seen sufficient tortoises!
Did you know that a tortoise can take 5 hours
to make love and the chap we saw at it was 120 years old --------hope for me
yet!
We had our crossing the line celebrations and
dressed up accordingly and when we have learnt how we will add some pictures to
this blog, so we are now in the Southern Hemisphere and the water is going down the plug hole the other
way!
The next leg - to the Marquesas
will take 20-25 days and we will leave about the 23rd so as usual there are a
number of jobs to sort beforehand.
We will look to leave the boat for a couple of
months in the Society Islands,and come home to
catch up with everything and everybody, something that we are both looking
forward to
Our loose plan is to return to Norsa and sail
her to New Zealand where will leave her for a period. Hopefully a good
excuse to explore NZ by sea and by land.
Maybe some southern hemisphere skiing?
Will write more on passage
