The schedule was to take a speed boat to a 3rd island: Floreana. This island has a population of only 125 people. It was going to be another 2 hour boat ride to and from the island. Kathleen and I decided to skip this trip and pay to go snorkeling instead on the first island.
This was a nice choice. It was only a 10 minute boat ride to a shore with lots of sea lions. We had wet suits and swam with the sea lions. One passed less than one foot underneath me, and he was bigger than I am. Kathleen had wanted to get close to one, but when I assisted her in getting closer than about 6 feet, she decided that was close enough.
We had some free time because of this choice, so were able to go to the place in town where they prepped the fish they caught that day. There were about 10 pelicans and 1 sea lion hanging around the workers. These animals were used as garbage disposals for the fish skins. They were funny to watch as they tried to sneak past each other to be the one that got the fish skins.
