Galapagos

After about 3500mi of upwind sailing and motoring into current it was nice to call land ho early one morning when the island of Isabella came into view. I don’t really know where to start with the stories of the 2 weeks that we spent there. The first week myself and the rest of the delivery crew hung out in Porto Ayora chillaxing, I completed my dive Padi and had some amazing diving in the process seeing everything from hammerhead sharks through to Massive manta rays, which are up to about 5m wingspan and prob the most impressive thing I’ve seen underwater. There are some amazing walks and beaches around the place, we ate well and had a few good nights out around the semis of the RWC meeting some cool people that I’m sure we will bump into again somewhere around the world.

The following week we joined the boat again for the owners trip. This trip involved 7 days of cruising, walking, a birthday along the way, diving and snorkeling. I really can’t describe how awesome it was in words and if I did it would take a long time, so will let the pictures speak for me.

Some places are truly awesome and untouched in this world and the Galapagos is one of these not a place I will ever forget and hopefully I will have the privilege to go back there one day.
