On Location: Española, Galapágos Islands
If our first snorkel excursion of the trip is an indicator of what’s ahead of us, then this is going to be an action-packed expedition. Not only were we entertained under the waves by the shoals of different varieties of fish from Moorish idols to yellow-tailed surgeonfish, the action above in the sky added an element of excitement with cries of “booby alert, booby alert” from fellow snorkelers.
And be alert we were as we watched blue footed boobies prepare to dive head first into the water, very close to us, at speeds in excess of 30 mph, and once they hit, we watched the torpedo like action under the water, only to then see them bob up at the surface with their prize, before flying off to regroup for their next approach. Oh, and did I mention that while this was occurring above us, we were also being checked out by a playful sea lion up close and personal, curious to interact with its new playthings?
