Daily JournalChase River PathfindersDay 5 |
 Our day started with a visit from a few Bottlenose dolphins.  They swam by for a quick hello! 
The morning plans were to explore the fauna and flora of the desert islands. |
 Hiking through the brush to a salt bed.  Discussing the adaptations of cactus to a harsh environment.  A lizard scurries by. |
 Then off to the tide pools.  First encounter a rock crab.  A female with eggs. |
 The next catch - Sally Lightfoot crab.  As feisty as beautiful.  Cooling off as the group awaits the panga for pick up. |
 The next adventure takes us to the California Sea Lion habitat at Los Isolotes.  A typical male posture.  The females, on the other hand, are simply chillaxin". |
 High atop the habitat a flock of Magnificent Frigates hang in the shade.  A couple of Blue-footed Boobies look on.  Brown pelicans also watch as we tour their habitat. |
 Then the most exciting of all. Snorkeling with the sea lions.  At first the group was a little apprehensive. But it didn't last long at all.  A Barber fish picks at the algae on the rocks. |
 The group is having a great time. |
 A Giant Damsel fish.  Male sea lion swims by... head first.  A Bullseye stingray glides along the bottom.  Butt shot of the male sea lion. This ends our adventure. |
|
Last night Kapri and I were on the bow singing the
"Omega Kawair (?) Cloud Song". and 2 dolphins came and swam
underneath us. It was awesome! They were jumping out of the water.
There was also a bunch of fish swimming and splashing around. |
