02/23/2009, Anchored at Isla Isabella
We arrived here at Isla Isabella late yesterday afternoon. This morning we inflated the dingy and motored over to the beach near the ranger station.
Isla Isabella is a national park and a rookery for Frigate birds and blue footed and yellow footed boobies.
This is the nesting season for all of these birds and the island is loaded with nests and fledglings. The Frigate birds nest at eye level in trees near sea level and the boobies nest on the higher ground and their nests consist of hollowed out areas in the dirt.
We got a lot of good photos that we will upload to the blog when we get to Puerto Vallarta and have internet access.
There is also a fishing camp on the beach with about 15 pangas. It must be a fairly productive fishing area to support all the bird life and keep that many fishermen busy.
There are also whales around the anchorage. Thy are probably humpback whales but I have not had a good enough look at one to be sure.
After lunch we are heading to the reef near where we are anchored to do a little snorkling.

We left the stone Island Anchorage shortly after 5:00 AM this morning and are making good time under power. The weather forecast says we will have wind this afternoon.
Today is a long jump of 87 miles and we need to make it to Isla Isabella before dark.
