May 2. We awake to find we are anchored off the northeast end of Isla Santiago near Puerto Ergas. At 8:45 we are in the pangas heading to the beach for a wet landing. After getting our feet wet, we put our walking shoes on for a hike around the northwestern tip of the island.
Our walk takes us past volcanic tidepools with sea lions, and we see a number of birds including Oystercatchers along with the colorful Sally Lightfoot crabs.
After our walk it’s back to the ship and then off for another snorkeling adventure. The underwater world is just so amazing with brightly colored angel fish and parrot fish.
Lunch is at 12:30, and at 3:00 we’re snorkeling again. At 4:30 we get our chance to kayak, paddling around the little bay in which the Passion is anchored.
We paddle past some amazing formations of volcanic rock. One of the formations is called The Apostle. At 6:40 we have a briefing reviewing the day’s events and hearing about tomorrow’s adventures. At 7:00 dinner is served.
More photos of the day’s adventures are available in an online gallery.
