Nothing happened today. I had the fishing line out all day, and no bites. No dolphins swam alongside our boat. There was one point where a bird almost landed on our boat (on top of the radar dish), but he couldn't quite stick the landing.
I spent the day studying this learn to speak/write French book they have aboard. I am halfway through now. Je veux attendre le français avant nous arrivons en French Polynesia.
We hit the "halfway-there" point today. It looks like we will be arriving early Sunday afternoon. I am really excited about seeing the Galapagos. They have such unique animal species there that we get to interact with, including:
- Giant Tortoises
- Sea Lions & Seals
- Warm-Climate Penguins (the only place in the world you can find them in their natural habitat in the northern hemisphere!)
- 4 different types of iguanas
- Whales, hammerheads
The islands were/are formed by active volcanoes, so there are a lot of exciting things to see!
