February 28th - Discovery Island (#7)

Dan, Paulo and I went out for a morning paddle around the islands. I managed to get out a couple of times to look at beach debris (brought home some more crab trap floats!) and also to look at the carcass of a young eagle in Rudlin Bay. We saw a good number of birds (https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S53234450) and a nice group of 3 male Steller sea lions on the rock offshore from Seabird Point. A large freighter came by and made enough wake that i was able to surf the wave past Commodore Point!

Feb 11 - Floreana Island Post Office Bay (#6)

I managed to get out for two short paddles near Post Office Bay while on a trip to Galapagos. For the kayak trip, the GPS recorder was not working but I covered about the same amount of ground on each. For the kayaking, Alicia P was my partner and we had fun seeing flamingos on the beach near the entrance to the bay. We also saw some sea turtles in the bay.
