Sally lightfoot crabs at Puerto Ayora
After a splendid taxi tour of the island of San Cristobal and a thwarted dive trip due to low visibility, we decided to move on to Santa Cruz for provisioning in Puerto Ayora and another go at diving with the sharks. We leave for the dive tomorrow at 7:20 a.m.

Another provision trip? Who are you feeding the seals? According to an earlier photo the Tahina was “piled” high.
Donna – I KNOW she was feeding the seals! Maybe they forgot the keg-o-rum or need fruit to fight off the scurvy, but I thought they were sailing low in the water too. Don’t we wish we were there? Gayl
Actually, we haven’t fed any animals. Strictly prohibited and fairly dangerous if they see us as a source of food.
We have had some people over for dinner, plus there were some things we couldn’t find or that we realize we didn’t get enough of (rum), so we are making sure we have all we need for the next 2 months. Until we get to Tahiti, we will be pretty much out of luck on provisioning locations so we have to cover ALL our bases now. Tahina is performing fine and not as low in the water as we may have first thought, so we feel open to restock and ensure we don’t suffer any withdrawals while saling across. Another thing we’re getting is fresh produce. That has all either been eaten or gone bad since our last run, and that’s a treat we’ll keep in stock while we can still get it.
I have a freeze dry thingy that would have come in handy. (dried fruit is probably on your list and you can rehydrate it with rum)!
