Galapagos
97% of the area of these islands are National Park area. Seaiguanas, bluefooted boobies? turtoise and turtles are to be seen from close distance.
In heavy sweel close to the rocks we snorkeled with sealions, which really mostly look like seals, but behaved very playful.
Its quite an experience, but we will have to continue anyhow within a short time. The following leg will be our longest ever, and there is a chance of several days without or just a little wind. This passage to French Polynesia, Marquesas Islands, might take up to 45 days or more. We hope though to make it in 30 - 38 days.
At any time our familly will know how far we have reached day by day as we dayly send noon positions. We feel very content at sea and are looking forward to the journey.
Well then, have a nice march (and april?) until we update this site next time.

You two have a good time sailing on to French Polynesia.
