Arrival in Galapagos

We are anchored safely at Villamil on the south end of Isla Isabela in the Galapagos.
S 00*57.903'
W 090*57.756'
Juvenile sea lions are jumping and playing around the boat.
We sailed 933 miles in 6 days, 2 hours, averaging about 150 miles per day.
The Galapagos are truly a wildlife park and we haven't been ashore yet.
The dolphins were at our bow for an extended period this morning.
I lost another lure to some monster fish. I chose 80lb test because I don't really want to catch a giant fish, but loosing my lures will drive me to make more homemade ones.
We hope to stay here for three weeks before we depart for Marquesas, French Polynesia.
