She had a pretty good birthday
This week was Taylor’s Birthday!!! Celebration was very much in order so we provisioned and set sail for isla Ispirito Santo.
It is absolutely stunning. We spent one afternoon in a cove looking for a hiking trail and failed which was ok because it was 105°.
We spent the night at the partition between two islands where a thin straight divides the land masses at high tide. So we had a dinghy ride through the split and around both bays. In an hour we saw hundreds of sea turtles popping their heads up, looking at us and then disappearing. We didn’t get good photos but the experience was amazing.
Although the birthday dinner was fantastic, it was the day after her birthday that ended up being the best day ever.
We left in the morning, and sailed through pods of rays jumping and slapping. We sailed past the sea lion island and enjoyed the scene of big groups of tourists floating around the sea lions. We sailed onward south and shortly we’re surrounded by thousands of dolphins. It was hot and we’re ready to swim anyway so we jumped in and swam with the dolphins. They didn’t let us ride on their backs but they swam around, and jumped and flipped. They gave Taylor a much better birthday present than I could.
