Ship's Log:
Arrived in Academy Bay yesterday at 0030hrs. and woke up to another exciting location to explore. It took most of the day to clear in so trainees spent the evening ashore. Today all were off to tour the Charles Darwin Research station where you can see the well known Galapagos tortoise both in infant and adult stages of life. Some trainees went snorkeling with sea lions,turtles and white tip sharks. Tomorrow some are visiting the highlands to ride horses and see toroises in the wild while others are traveling to a nearby island with a guide to dive with the famous schools of hammerhead sharks. As you can see there is something for everyone. We have also been invited to a barbeque at an old friends place that we met here 15 years ago, while traveling aboard the Swift.

Calm and mostly clear.
