In the afternoon the ship re-position to Punta Pitt & on the way we went up on the bridge. Quite sophisticated in all its eco systems to treat water and not damage the environment. We always had to wash down with hoses every time we came back on board to avoid taking anything foreign to another island. The ship also has a black box and transponders that float to the surface if the ship sinks. The ship can sail by autopilot, but the navigator says he still uses his sextant. Mum was disappointed that there was no wheel, just a tiny joystick.
Once we boarded the RIBs we went to visit some very rocky outcrops and shoreline. Once again , plentiful wildlife, including the Red Foot Boobies and the Nasca variety.
