Jan 22







Overnight, we sailed to Sante Fe Island. Thank goodness for earplugs! After breakfast, we got in the pangas for a wet landing on the island. Sea lions galore and all ages. There is only one adult male and this is his turf. He will let you know if you are too close to the ones he protects and sometimes the female moms will also say stay away from the little ones. Otherwise, they are remarkably casual about our presence. This island was our first sighting of land iguanas and lava lizards. The land iguanas here are a remarkable yellow colour and they are only on this island. Later in the morning, I went snorkeling off a dingy and it was fun. The water was a bit cloudy but I enjoyed my first snorkel here anyway.
