Oh that iguana! Awfully big for the timid which would be me. Great shots. Amazing the Galapagos has so much commerce. Hoping the catamaran is a smooth ride for Doris, as well as a windy one for Louis. Thanks for the post, k

  Yes, the Galapagos has undergone massive development in a few locations, most of it in just the last 20 years. The growth is now tightly controlled, but it wasn’t always, and that shows. On the water, it’s another matter. Most of the islands remain uninhabited, and ambitious efforts are ongoing to eradicate the effects of human contact (e.g., rats are being eradicated). On board, we are happy to report that all your wishes for us came true! There was enough wind that our catamaran hoisted the sails for a good long stretch, with Capn Louis at the helm for nearly an hour. Meanwhile, seasickness patches continued to work their magic for Doris who experienced nary a twinge of nausea. A magical five days now reported in our “Ode to the Galapagos” update.
