Genovesa

Genovesa Island
Our cabin, #3, is on the lower level, port side. For this morning that meant we could see the sunrise over Genovesa through our porthole. But this time we didn't really want to see sunrise. Jeff and I had a rough night because the Air ...
Galapagos Islands Day 3
Well after little sleep from a loud motor and some rolling seas I remembered why yachts are so much more fun to sleep on. Genovesa is a errie place as is formed from a Caldera, Volcano and hardly any greenery around due to it not raining here for 9 ...
Hammerheads and Birthday Celebrations

Raue See
... Insel unserer Tour war etwas beschwerlich: Starker Wellengang verunmöglichte ein normales Schlafen, das Schiff schaukelte schlicht weg zu stark. Genovesa entschädigte jedoch die durchwachte Nacht - wir hätten uns nie träumen lassen, dass uns eine ...
Vogelinsel
Fuer Vogelfans sind die Galapagosinseln ein Traum. Das Federvieh kennt den Menschen nicht als Feind und begegnet ihm dementsprechend unerschrocken und vorwitzig. Wir haben vorallem an den Boobies, zu Deutsch Toelpeln den Narren gefressen. Ob rot- oder ...
Genovesa
Another amazing day, but I think I say that at the start of every entry! Genoveas is in the far North East of the Galapagos and is virtually untouched by humans and the animals they bring with them. It has huge populations of Red Footed Boobies and ...

June 10, 2011: Isla Genovesa
... I awoke at about 1:00 to a wildly rocking boat. The sea was just as rough as the last time I sailed to Genovesa. Elena was having trouble sleeping in the upper bunk. It took me awhile to get back to sleep below. I awoke several more times as ...

Boobies, boobies and more boobies
In the morning after breakfast we went ashore and walked around the marked out path, which the wildlife had no respect for … bearing in mind we were supposed to stay at least two metres away from them AND not leave the marked path! I've never ...
So Much Wildlife..and its only the First Full Day!

Northward Ho! And the blessings of Benedryl

Darwin Discoveries
Breakfast was a buffet in the dining room as each morning. Then we headed to Genovesa Island. Actually we were anchored inside the caldera of a volcano so we were basically already at the island. We took the zodiac to a ...
