Quickly encountered half a dozen sea-lions, tearing around very gracefully under the water. Several times they came right up to me. One of them came close to my face and I lifted the camera for defence. It bit the camera. There were also pelicans on the rocks and in the water and I was able to swim right up to them. We then got back in the dinghy and went further into the bay. Saw a turtle and two rays from the boat but didn't find them again when I was in the water. Saw shoals of very large silver fish and lots of other more colourful varieties. Kept a look-out for some very large sea-lions that were cruising around.

Waved albatross courtship ritual. They pair for life.
Returned to the boat. We set sail for San Cristóbal and I rapidly began to feel ill. Lay down for a while and then went up onto the sun-deck, but that didn't hep. Missed dinner. Later heard that only 6 of the 16 passengers had completed the meal.

Sun 29th: Went ashore after breakfast and to the 'Interpretation Centre' which mainly catalogues the environmental damage that man has brought to the islands over the years. Had a drink and did some shopping with Liam, Nick and Mike.
