A week ago Friday, Jeff, Steve Parker, Gene Moss and I left the dock at San Cristobal, Galapagos Islands, a little after 6:30 a.m. We were leaving early because the preceding two days had abundant sightings of frigate birds, blue-footed boobies and sea lions (lobos marinos in Spanish) and six or seven yellow fin tuna. But, we were looking for marlin and had not brought any to the boat.
