From the log

We are in the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador! Truly amazing and very exciting for us. We remember studying these islands in elementary school, seeing picture in the National Geographic magazine and now Liward is anchored in Wreck Bay on the island of San Cristobol! Darwin arrived here in 1835 and gathered data that led to his theory of evolution and we can see why! The animals are incredible. And they don't seem to mind humans at all. There are 12 main islands with only five are inhabited with about 28,000 people. We've only been here 5 days but we've seen some really cool stuff and wanted to get some pictures up quickly!

    Following along from Houston and loving every update. That shot of the anchorage at dawn is going straight on my wall.

    We crossed paths with you in Bocas years ago and have been reading ever since. Fair winds to you both.

    My grandkids and I look up every island you mention on the map. It has turned into our little geography lesson.

    Twenty years of this and still going. You two are the reason we finally put a deposit on a boat of our own.
