Next Step - 4th March 2020 - Departure from Galapagos

Our stay in Galapagos has been fantastic but it is now time to move on. We woke up at a reasonable time in the morning as we needed to get a few things done before departure today. Jeremy and Nicole went into town by water taxi to get a few last minute items from the supermarket. We had the guys from the Navy and Customs come on board to check our passports and the boat. At 1135 we pulled up the anchor and made our way to the start line for the next leg. At 1200 we all started, the wind was very variable in strength so it took a bit of time to get over the line. By 1405 the wind had dropped completely and it was necessary to start the engine. We saw lots of wildlife in the seas around the Galapagos including whales and Dolphins. As we went into the night watches the engine was still running and the seas were very flat, let's hope we get some wind tomorrow!
