Hi all,
Just a short log to let you know that we have made landfall at the Galapagos Islands. We entered the harbour at 10.50 on Thursday morning. We will stay at this anchorage for a day to catch up with the maintenance jobs and refuel before the short passage across to the island of Santa Cruz. We will anchor there for a week. Bruce and Angela are staying on Kasuje and Rubina is joining us on Thursday, whilst I'm booked on a five day mini cruise around the islands, can't wait to see those Boobies!!!
Just as a footnote, it was just over 150 years ago that Captain Fitzroy brought a young Charles Darwin to this very spot, and started the revolution in thinking and our view of the natural world. An awesome thought as we sailed in today.
The logs will probably dry up a bit for the next few days whilst we are away from Kasuje but I promise to update you on our findings before we set off, a week on Sunday, for the long Pacific Crossing.
We are now almost 25% around the globe. 89.36W. We are 6 hours behind you and the water goes down the plug hole the other way! ( Work it out)
Keep in touch
Skipper Steve
