Olivine beach, green on the lava eroded surface. Boobies looking ridiculous as they courted and waddled, and fished.
Flamingos,10 per cent of the population of the Galapagos, 30 plus including a juvenile in one. trio
Baby sea turtle running to the water. About a 50 meter dash out in the open, very dangerous and very unusual in daylight. Short video attempted.
Sting rays along the waters edge.
Possible penguin spotting, mostly heads, better sighting later.
Snorkeling in post office bay, dropping point for whalers mail, next ship takes those in their direction. Outstanding though with a tough current. Starfish, white tipped reef shark, penguin flying just below my feet!!!
Water temperature varied. Upwellings of cold water in areas of very warm seas.
Zodiac rice frolicking with the sea lions as s prelude to posting a post card at the postbox. Fausto reviewed the somewhat checkered history of Floriana, the barroness, the German Robinson Crusoe nudist who was posed when another German family came to the island.
