first dawn join the crew of the math lab

as we visit the Galapagos Islands

these unique isolated Islands have given

birth to amazing creatures birds and

plants that you will find nowhere else

on the planet

and inspired a young child's Darwin who

created a theory of evolution and we

would never see the world the same again

we covered about a hundred and thirty

miles since we've left Marina Chiapas

we've had an amazing day of fishing the

winds were light and it was a peaceful

night

but no matter how peaceful the Night

Watch is is only to release to have dawn

finally breaks Nick and I had elected to

do the midnight to 6 a.m. watch and we

found out some experience that if

anything's gonna happen it's gonna

happen at night be that tiny dog no

horizon that's right it was a big

freighter and the radar didn't pick it

up because we discovered it wasn't

working actually a gremlin had come on

board because all kinds of things were

no longer working

although the boys had really worked hard

to get the boat ready it's hard when a

boat sits at a marina in the tropical

heat you can expect the unexpected the

freezer wasn't working the sailing

instruments weren't working the water

filter wasn't there but hey that's the

sailing world that's life on board

with the asymmetric spinnaker out taking

advantage of the five knot winds and

calm seas and e5u good time give us a

little lesson a little bit concerned

about all the Pangos we saw that have

been confiscated I would say very

concerned certainly an issue all the all

the confiscated impounded Pangos and to

know they're they they confiscated from

drug smugglers they weren't running

cocaine out here from Colombia we're

passing right through that area and

we're going far enough offshore where

which is where they go right to stay out

of range of shore patrols Lumbee to

Mexico three big motors on it

the best strategy is to just simply

ignore them don't look don't wave

pretend you didn't see anything with the

excitement of the anti pirate lesson

moving over we relaxed and less gentle

waves take us the good news is the water

makers we're king and that means salads

for everyone

we admired the guys pulling in the

spinnaker the thing of beauty there was

always something to do on the boat nice

is good and there's fresh tuna for

dinner from yesterday by the end of the

day we're 170 miles offshore of El

Salvador in our next video we get

nighttime visitors and things start to

get a little rocky hey guys if you like
