Day 161: To the Dead Surfer
Isabella – Santa Cruz, Ecuador

Prior to the boat leaving the port of Isabella, I managed to squeeze in a short snorkling time, in hope to bump into swimming penguins. No such luck, but I saw my first school of manta rays. I also recorded a movie of a type of jellyfish that’s very common here in Galapagos’ sea.
