Another part of Santa Cruz. Dry landing in the morning and an hour and a half walk. Walks are difficult as the paths are rocky and unstable. Dragon Hill was named by a Japanese biologist who looked at the hill and saw the dragon iguana. This island was overrun with rats, cats, dogs and goats. The scientists removed the iguanas and took them to safety while they irradicated the island of pests. The iguanas were then returned. Mockingbirds, finches, fly catchers. When we got back to the beach, we went snorkeling. Linda went, too, and I took her hand to guide her around. Nice fish. Back to the boat for a 3 hr sail to Bartolomew Is.
