Greetings from yacht Ensemble!
We had a nice quiet day in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. The village is small but pleasant - and has a certain rustic charm. However, the unique attraction lies in the closeness and accessibility of the wild life.
Take the water taxi from your boat to the dock and you are greeted by seals, iguanas, turtles and pelicans - all within 5 minutes of the boat and lounging around the shore. There is no doubt who really owns this island.
We met 'Betty' when we returned to the boat after dinner in town - and since then she has been a fixture on the back of the boat. She will be particularly useful getting tangled ropes off the propeller and providing fresh fish (if she can be convinced to share!) Magali complains that she snores - (and could do with a shower) - but I think she is just jealous ;-). I'm also not sure how we'd go getting her back into.
Today we are off on a snorkelling trip and will see how it looks before deciding whether or not to go on a diving trip.
Cheers
Dave
