Our last full day was pent on the spectacular northern island of Genovesa and it is one of the most pristine islands in the archipelago. We began with an early morning kayak along the shore where we spotted Nazca and red-footed boobies and tropicbirds along with some small fur sea lions (a different species than what we've seen previously). Later we went on a naturalist led walk. It is amazing that the birds just sit there in their nests or in the mangroves and are not at all afraid of people. Richard and the rest of the photographers were ecstatic because its easy to get some great shots.
We love boating. So far, we've owned 3 sailboats, two called Eagle's Wings, and a beautiful Mainship Trawler called Indigo Star. Currently, we have a small power boat, a Jeanneau 28 ft, called Lickity Split. We've sailed the Texas and Florida coastlines including the Keys and the Bahamas. Also, we've chartered boats in Polynesia (Tahiti area), Belize, Croatia, Midi Canal in France, Bahamas and Virgin Islands.
We also enjoy traveling to other countries, sometimes with the Friendship Force.
We retired to Punta Gorda Isles Florida and in 2008 started this blog about our life here. Read all about our great Retirement Adventures. Enjoy!
