First couple of photos from the Galapagos sailing trip....



The boat: the Nemo II, a 76-foot sailing catamaran (has 9 cabins plus a kitchen, takes 12 tourists plus crew)







Some locals were already hogging the benches at the pier while we awaited our panga dinghy to take us out to the catamaran.






The wildlife viewing at the pier (not even on the boat yet!) continues with penguin sightings in the water below. (better photo coming later...)




Plenty of nice fish hanging around the boat







Plenty of not-so-nice fish (sharks) hanging around the boat










The lounge area inside the catamaran








The dining area on the back deck. The scene of the crime for the weight gain that has happened.

  1. The Galapagos Islands are the most incredible living museum of evolutionary changes. It is certainly one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
