Today was somewhat uneventful. We anchored off Tower Island and had a walk
on sand and lava fields to see many many birds, including the red footed
boobie, whom we have not seen before. This boobie has prehensile feet and
can grip branches, unlike the blue-footed and Nazca boobies.

I took a nap on the beack in Darwin Bay while others snorkelled. A nice nap
in teh sun. I spent the afternoon writing and packing. Tomorrow's
circumnavigation of Daphne Major will conclude my visit to the Galapagos
archipelago. Following I will sketch a map of my travels in these islands.
