The Perlas Islands.

There was more wildlife here than we had seen anywhere - huge flocks of birds feeding over the water. We caught our first fish, a pair of Spanish Mackerel.

Anti-fouling Gillaroo. This proved much of a waste of time as within a month all the new paint had just washed off. By the time we got to the Marquesas our bottom was like a jungle and since then we have been scraping clean every couple of weeks.
