Sailing Along on Day 6 -

This voyage is typically thought of as a 7-day trip. Our plan is about 10 days.  The weather wind wise has been good but those tiny little wavelets have grown to 5 to 6 feet, and now the motion of the ocean can be felt if you hold real still.

We have a yellow-footed Booby bird sitting on our front pulpit. We thought it was kind of cute yesterday evening when he landed, but this morning, we found he had coated one and a half of the kayaks in poop. So the children named him Poopy Booby.  He is pretty committed to his location, and has quite some attitude if you try to scare him away.

We have no guides, or books for the sailor of the Galapagos, so it is going to be interesting. The night before we left we were saying goodbye to one of our friends who are also heading out to the Galapagos, and he pointed out where the anchorage is on Isla Isabella.  So hopefully I can remember when we get there.
