We took a two hour walk this afternoon on Espinoza point. The three boats are traveling as a trio. There were sea,lions and iguanas everywhere.
Approach to island. No steep, wet steps.
Mother and baby sea lion with iguanas all around.
Male sea lion protecting his area. He will squeal continually. He kicked some male teen aged sea lion out of his territory.
Nap time
Baby nursing. A mother will get pregnant one month after giving birth and will continue to nurse until the next baby is born. They have one baby at a time. the milk is mostly fat. The babies play together all the time but as adults live apart.
Sand is a mix of lava rock and smells.
Lizard
Iguana on a stick.
Sally light foot crab
Pelican
Nap time
Back to the boat. They always have a juice drink and sometimes a snack when we arrive.
Around 6:00 we crossed the equator. The staff on the boat had a ceremony. They dressed as pirates. We received certificates saying we crossed. There was a whale in the water and the sun was setting. We were served pizza and a special drink. A very special time.
Our captain.
Queen Claire crowning us.
Equator crossing certificate.
On the upper deck.
Our small state room. Remember this is a small ship and certainly not fancy.
Dinner was creamed spinach soup ( no popcorn), lazana made with soy meat, vegetables, sliced cabbage with coconut, garlic bread and a flan for dessert. Checked the stars tonight and it was not a clear night. We went to pack our suitcase as we have an early start tomorrow. Every night we are asleep very early, But we also begin the day before the sun has risen!
