Back to the boat after an excellent 2 hours on the island and we set sail for Santa Fe. Snooze time in sun and shade for everyone! We also discussed German v Holland relations. Gerrit again: "ah yes, Holland sinking is the one good thing about global warming" - luckily Hester, the Dutch girl sitting right next to us had tuned out!
Lovely lunch as usual, then we had 2.5 hours in this beautiful secluded bay to go snorkelling. Everyone (except me) went in after half an hour. I wasn't too keen as I'd to jump into 15ft of freezing water from the boat! Eventually I went down the ladder at the side of the boat and got going - saw a shark and an eagle ray and really enjoyed it once I was out there!
Like expectant parents, Jamie and Brian watch their little boy take his first steps...
I managed to get my act together and swim with this massive ray. Beautiful.
Ah yeah, showing off now
Great technique
Oh thank you Lord. I'm back safe and sound!
Back for a snack then a 2hr walk around the island which is a sea lion colony. They were everywhere and "not afraid to you" as Alfonso would say! It was amazing sitting in the middle of them as they slept and messed around and went in and out of the sea.
One of the lads
Stunning place
More craic with making videos of iguanas who were eating and spent another 30 mins on the beach before heading back. Dinner was lovely, I popped a sea sickness pill before it and I'm glad I did because the captain insisted on taking off immediately after dinner and the next 6 hours of navigation were v v choppy. Few lads puked, I was ok but it was no fun! Bed early, though while everyone felt terrible or was actually puking, the 2 German lads were horsing back the beer not a bother on them. Legends.
