After a first rough night of sailing to Santa Cruz Island (before we got our sea legs) we rose with the call at 6:45 for a hot breakfast at 7:00. Then it was on to the panga headed for Cerro Dragon (Dragon Hill) to see land and marine iguanas and get a taste for the many different species of birds on the islands.

| This guy slid right up onto the boat and was not bothered one bit by our disembarking to the pangas! |
 |
| Iguana tracks... we should see them soon... |
 |
| Still some green even in the dry season |
 |
| The colorful land iguana out of his burrow warming himself in the sun |
 |
| Marine iguanas...these guys were the ones who left the tracks for us |
 |
| Sea lions wherever we go! |
 |
Back to the boat to don wet suits and snorkel gear
|
Afternoon stop: Rabida Island
 |
| Ready for a deep water snorkel |
 |
| Marine iguans getting ready to swim with the boys |

Can you see the legs and flippers of the snorkeler in the middle of this HUGE school of fish?
Amazing!! |

| The Pacific Sea Turtle |

| Another very large school of fish |
