The Floriana aground in Wreck Bay, Isla Santa Cristabal, Galapagos Islands.

This has been a most interesting week.
The Supply ship, The Floreana,  was in the bay with supplies to the islands. She arrived two weeks ago. We thought she was going to leave after a week, but then noticed that she was very low in the stern. Apparently she had taken in water and was unable to move by own power. Small vessels hummed around like bees to the hive. She was moved to very low water and set aground.
An emergency situation was called by the governor and no other vessel was allowed near the stricken vessel.
During this last week landing crafts and tugboat have arrived from Guayaquel on the mainland  and attended to her.

Offloading of supplies have now stopped and at the moment we are not sure what the next step.
We are watching excitedly. All action now seems slow.
Unfortunately we are planning to leave the islands on Thursday and set sail towards Panama.

The Floreana is the ship center in the photo.
