Penguins by our boat
This morning the tiny Galapagos penguins swam around our boat looking for fish. With their tiny white bellies surrounded by black, I was worried they would get their tuxedos dirty, but they came right up clean as a whistle and we watched one gulp down a fish. The penguins flap their wings underwater and it looks like they're flying. Here in Isla Isabela, we’re anchored in an aquarium with oodles of life surrounding us. We also have four other kid boats and nine kids total all under the age of 11 – so life on Kamaya is wonderful.

What a great blog! I love it! Great pictures!
Thanks Travis and Maggie for following us. We're having an amazing adventure. Right now we're trying to figure out which island in the Galapagos Miguelito, the Galapagos Tortoise we met in Bahia de Caraquez, is from. The verdict is still out.
Nice pengie pics! THe most widely distributed species of bird -- a little trivia :)
Love the pic of Kai surfacing in the water w/snorkel mask & penguins in background. They seem completely unfazed by it. Very cool! xo Elena
