Galapagos 20th Sept.am

Cloudy morning again but not too cold. Boat anchored at Cormorant point on Floreana and we once again went for a wet landing. We stopped at a brakish lagoon in search of the elusive flamingoes, however they proved to be so elusive we didn't see them.  Further on we came accross a sandy beach where there were many small stingrays which came right up onto the beach in the waves and then flapped back in to the water on the outgoing waves. At the southern end of the beach many turtles lurking just off shore a few metres from the beach. We also abserved some turtle tracks from the sea to their nests in the "no go zone". Back to Cormorant Point Beach where Norm went snorkelling for a short time and we saw many seals in the water and frollicking on the beach and in the shallows. There is also asmall colony of penguins and we managed to see a couple.
