Anchored in Bahia de Naufragio (Wreck
Bay) just after sun rise Tuesday 21st June. Before the anchor was set
there was a visit from a water taxi with an agent looking for business. The
island, San Cristobal, is volcanic in origin; the black rock being easily seen.
The vegetation observed so far could be generously described as low
shrubs/thicket: very uninspiring. It is easy to see why these
islands were passed over by the English and French a couple of centuries
ago.
Tomorrow we will go looking for tortoises and
iguanas. No need to look for sealions, they are everywhere.
