Galapagos Travel Blog

After a nice sunset as we left Floreana, we had dinner and the boat set sail for Espanola, 7 hours away. Now out in the open ocean, the swells grew. At least one member of our group became seasick, probably a few others as well. before going to bed we went up onto the foredeck and sat in the deck chairs, staring out at the rolling blackness ahead. No lights, no land, just darkness. We then saw a couple of noctural birds fly by the boat, which may have been the only noctural gull in the world, known to live in the Galapagos. As we went to bed, the boat was really rolling, kinda like sleeping on a rollercoaster. Fun stuff.
