Genovesa

During our overnight cruise NNE to Genovesa Island, we cross the Equator and in the early morning anchor in Darwin Bay, which is formed by a submerged caldera of an extinct volcano.

Not far from the beach, where our dinghy takes us ashore, there is colony of red footed boobies and frigate birds. It is an unforgettable sight, especially if we are lucky enough to see the male frigate birds with their pouches inflated to attract the females during the mating season, or watch these birds feeding their young.
