Day 6, Passage to Callao

07 09.893 S, 080 14.838 W

Today we made a stop at Islas Lobos de Afuerta. It is a nature reserve made of a group of small islands. The only inhabitants are sea lions, pelicans, boobies, frigate birds and other sea birds. In the anchorage we saw several whales. It still makes me feel anxious when a mammal the size of our boat surfaces less than 2 boat lengths away.

We stopped so that Rich could change the fuel filter on the engine and so we could transfer some diesel from the jerry cans to the aft fuel tank.

I have a longer blog entry on this that I will post when we have internet.

Anyway, we are doing well. Of course we wish we were at Callao already but so far so good.

Cheers,
Elaine and Rich
