PROPULSION: None.
MECHANICALS: Replaced two spokes on Mike's bicycle which he loves to ride around the islands we visit.
CREW CONDITION: Enjoying the freedom of going ashore & socializing with the other Oysters arriving every day.
EXCITEMENT: Lizards (with bodies about 1' long, plus tails), seals swimming in the Oyster HQ hotel swimming pool, tons of birds, and an active fishing harbor.
COMMENTS: We are very impressed with Porto Aroya. Like the other places we've visited, there is lots of evidence of recent economic development including the infusion of lots of government money to improve these tourist destinations. This is really the tourist center for the Galapagos with about 30-40 tour boats in the harbor and a very active and cute Main Street along the harbor. Jan and I look forward to the coming week alone on the boat with time to spend ashore in the town and exploring the island.
We'll keep you updated. Right now it's 5:30 and it's happy hour at the Oyster HQ hotel, so we're off! Lots of pictures below:
