One long, cold break

Surf heaven
The Tortuga Bay beach surf, about three kilometers from Puerto Ayora. A pleasant walk to a wonderful — if chilly, this time of year — white sand beach. Heaven. Continue reading this entry » » »

Sea lions of San Cristobal

Growl
The sea lion parade continues. They alternate between goofing off and lazing around everywhere. They’re cute, photogenic and smelly. See below. Continue reading this entry » » »

One heckuva beach

Lava rocks and white sand
Los Lobos, a stop on most tour visits to Kicker Rock near San Cristobal Island in the Galapagos is an absolute afternoon treat. Sea lions laze in the shade or play in the water. The waters, though cold, are crystal. Those famous Galapagos finches flit and flutter everywhere.

A solid half-kilometer of break
So are the hippies, in Montanita, a little tourist town with a great bit of surf in southern Ecuador, where people get drunk at night and make shell jewelry and braid hair by day.
The human vibe was a bit overwhelming — it really is just a party town — but sitting on a rocky levy overlooking crashing 10-foot waves wasn’t so bad.

It’s a tourist attraction mostly for Ecuadorians who set up tents, play soccer and frolic in what Westerners would shun as too-cold waters. The lack of sun notwithstanding, it’s a fine place to spend an afternoon.

Rays of light on Radhanagar Beach, Havelock Island
I’ve been writing a travelogue and environmental essay. Which has me thinking of the Andamans, sand and diving.
Thankfully, I get back to the sea next week, if only for a little while. FYI, starting Monday, the blog will be on autopilot for a few days.
The sunset above was just too easy.
