EVERY YACHT HAS AN "OUT HOUSE"

What can I say.....nothing has ever compared to our arrival in the Galapagos. The islands are so very different from anything we have seen before. Time has stood still here and the government is making sure it stays that way. It feels like Charles Darwin just sailed off as we dropped anchor. I told Gideon that historical events have never fealt so alive to me. He mumbled something back like "AH babe, you just watched Master and Commander" and you're just excited by the fact that Russel Crowe was here."
Fruitcake. Russel Crowe is NOT sexy.

Found 2 sea lions sleeping in our speedboat this morning. I woke up at 5am to all the grunting, growning AND burping (I swear they burp) and threw our last 2 coconuts at them. Gideon was greeted at 7am to a pile of sea lion poop which he had to clean out with about 10 buckets of sea water.
Andy and Golla are happy as there is a rather challenging wave about 150m from where we are anchored. I paddled out this morning. The water was cold, there were huge turtles and sea lions swimming around my board, the waves were big and hollow and um sharks eat seals so I actually didn´t even get my hair wet. I lasted about 45 min and then told Andy I was going to swop out with Big G. Boys surfed for 3-4 hours.
