Buccaneer Cove was a hideout for pirates looking to stock up with food and water. Lots of birds and a few sea lions relaxing on the rocks

Exploring a cave at Buccaneer Cove, looking for treasure!


Whales!
I think they are fin or minke wales, feeding with opportunistic frigate birds nearby looking for scraps.

In the afternoon, we visited Rabida Island with its red sand beach and red rock everywhere

A Galapagos dove (endemic species)

A happy sea lion swimming in the red surf

back on board, the frigate birds were vying for prime perch locations on the top deck
