Goodbye to the Galapagos



Goodbye to the Galapagos

March 10, 2015

The last couple of days has been busy with topping up with fuel and water, and sitting in a very slow internet cafe trying to update our blogs with pictures. Yesterday we took a walk to the Darwin Institute to get our log books signed by officials of the Galapagos National Park and to see the giant saddleback turtles and land iguanas. Pictures will follow! Last evening we had our skipper's meeting in anticipation of our noon departure for the Marquesas today. We've enjoyed our visit to three of the islands of the Galapagos, and are excited about starting the three week or so passage across the Pacific. So far it looks like little wind for the first couple of days. The plan is to head southwest until we reach the area of stronger winds and good current, around 5 degrees south. Hopefully we won't have to motor too much.
