The previous night was the worst of the traveling portions of the trip. It was 10 hours, completed all at night. However, with the current and the state of the water it was a difficult 10 hours. Very little sleep was had. At times, I was simply trying to brace myself in bed. However everyone was great about it. There were no complaints and it ended up being well worth it. Genovesa is one of three islands that is entirely north of the equator. We spent the whole day there walking and snorkeling. We started in Darwin Bay to see many sea birds, including many red-footed boobies. Then, we spent some time snorkeling and in the afternoon on to Prince Philip's Steps in search of the short eared owl and Galapagos sea FUR lions (different than all the other sea lions that we had and will have seen on the trip. Once again, we were successful. Here are some pics:
