GALAPAGOS3 - Isabella Island

Went for a nice ride in the RIB around Elizabeth Bay. Saw the flightless Cormorants, the male was collecting sea urchins to decorate the nest. The Blue Booby has great blue webbed feet and dances wonderfully. Lot of action in the sea with sharks and sting rays. One big ray jumped clear out of the sea. Saw a shoal of sardines being chased by large fish and a penguin. What are penguins doing up on the equator? Are they on holiday? Also saw sea turtles.

Couldn't snorkel yesterday, too rough, but today went deep water at Tagus Cove on the RIB and saw loads of fish and even swam with a turtle. That's my dive buddy, Eric from Manchester.
