Fragata, Day four.
Friday March 15th The bell was very early this morning we were going out at dawn to catch the wildlife, and then returning for breakfast later. Unfortunately both Bob and I were both suffering from horrible stomach upsets. I was doing much better than Bob, but we still went, we had a boat to ourselves […]
Fragata, Day Three.
Thursday March 14th The bell rang at 6:50 again to announce breakfast. I’ve only had two breakfasts on board Fragata so far, but it’s been enough to know not to get excited about it. This morning was sadly no different; we had cold fried eggs, and luke warm bread! I’m actually beginning to get a […]
Fragata, Day Two.
Wednesday march 13th Not the best night! The boat motored out of the bay at 10pm, and even though we were on the top deck, and furthest away from the engines it was still as noisy as hell. The vibration and noise from the engines kept me awake most of the night, my bed was […]
The Tree House
Thursday March 7th Our day started with the arrival of Noddy who had apparently forgotten our paperwork! I’m not quite sure why he came all the way out to tell us that he didn’t have what he should have brought with him! He said he would be back a bit later, but if past performance […]

Fragata Cruise Day One
Tuesday March 12th Today we start our cruise of the islands, on the motor yacht ‘Fragata’. It had been arranged that the crew would collect us from Daisy at 7:45 this morning. Following quite a late night of frantically packing and getting the boat ready for while we’re away, we were all a little tired. […]
Swimming With The Penguins
Monday March 11th We had a day tour today to the islands of Bartolome and Santiago, where we were promised sightings of the Galapagos penguin. It had been arranged that we would meet the bus at 6am on shore. However, having had such a fun day and night yesterday we were running a little late […]
Santa Cruz Island Tour
Sunday March 10th One of the great things in the bay here is that we don’t need to drop our dinghy, dear little “Whoops-a-Daisy” gets a well-deserved break. The water taxis pick us up and transports us to shore, for a dollar, actually it’s 60 cents, but we can’t be bothered with all that change, […]
The Storm Before The Calm!
Friday March 8th We still had yet to receive our autographe that Noddy said he would bring over, which was not exactly a great surprise, going on past history. Bob managed to talk to our agent in Santa Cruz, and was told we could go ahead and sail over and he would give it to […]
