Day 165, Year 1: Frustrations
Date: Friday, March 31, 2006
Weather: Clear Blue Skies; Calm Anchorage with Almost No Wind
Location: Academy Bay, Puerto Ayoro, Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos
It’s always good to be back home, but today was one of those frustrating days of trying to get things done so we can take off on the next Galapagos adventure. We have been trying to get a money transfer from a retirement account ever since we arrived here, and today we spent the entire day in town trying to deal with this. Jed is not feeling great, so he and Heather spent the day on the boat. So I’m sure tomorrow will be a better day. We leave for Isabella in the morning and should arrive there in the late afternoon. Isabella is by far the largest island in the Galapagos, but it is not the most populated. We look forward to seeing Galapagos penguins and exploring the volcanoes there. There are six volcanoes, but we will probably only be able to visit the oldest one-Sierra Negra–which is closest to Puerto Villamil where we will be anchored. We will report in tomorrow night on our first discoveries in our new location.
