Isla Isabela.

We left Santa Cruz on 29 . Dec and arrived in the bay of Vilamil late afternoon in mist  so we did not get the best view of Isla Isabela. We were met in the bay by a pinguin. ....wow!
s/v Karma were at anchor and helped us finding a spot in the shallow  with a few feet under the keel.
The next morning we met Jessie, our agent at the dinghy dock. He took us through the formalities and gave us a guided tour of the small town. At the dock the sea lions and eguanas were in charge and a manta -ray was controlling  under the jetty. 
Hogmaney was celebrated with a Beautiful lobster dinner in the Boobie- Trap. Later we took part in a magnificent latino street party which culminated in fireworks and sending  Chinese lanterns up into sky. It was just beautiful!
Isabela is a beautiful island. When the sun shines the sea is turquoise. Fish and seabirds are plentiful in the bay. The rocks 100 m away is rusting place for blue -footed boobies and there are marine eguanas and seals. The magnificent frigate birds and pelicans are never far away.
