Day 8 Las Perlas to Galapagos

A slow day drifting along to ensure that we arrived at the islands in daylight tomorrow. We managed to keep sailing with the main and cruising chute until sunset and then switched to main and genoa - down to 2 knots at times.
As we have got closer the wildlife has increased. Crazy dolphins jumping out of the water at sunset, we could have whales blowing in the dark. At sunset a booby bird came and stopped on our spinnaker pole which we had left out after using it with the cruising chute and decided he would have a lift to the islands. About 4 hours later another one decided it looked like a good spot so came it join it - after abit of squawking they realised there was room for 2 and went to sleep - whenever we got a slight rolly they would wake up and squawk at the rudeness of the boat waking them up and go back to sleep!
We are now heading down the coast of the island with 15 miles to go til the anchorage.
