Today we got up early after a long and rough night sail to visit the island of Genovese. We walked for a couple of hours to see Red Footed, Blue Footed and Nazca Boobies and Frigate Birds nesting, lots of chicks too. Also saw 2 Owls which is rare. One of the Frigate Bird chicks had fallen out of the nest, which means the parents will ignore it, it won't survive, Amanda was a bit upset.
I then went snorkelling again and swam with some Fur Seals and a large Green Sea Turtle which was cool. Fur seals aren't as playful as the Sealions, we were also looking for Hammerhead sharks but didn't see any.
Amanda did a Panga ride instead of snorkelling after her shark encounter yesterday.
In the afternoon we visited Darwin beach, where there were Fur Seals and calves just lounging around, we could sit with them. Also did a small walk to see more Boobies.
Lots of large Galapagos sharks swimming around the boat all day as well as Turtles.
Last full day in Galapagos.
