Humboldt current

Annietta:  The Humboldt current that caresses the California coastline, making the water uncomfortably cold, spends its winters swirling around the Galapagos. It comes up from Antarctica and swirls right thru the Galapagos.  Expect cold water! 

I think it is going to be great fun to have some kids/youth along.  After all, some of us have known them since before they were born!  I am very excited & I agree it will be a trip of a lifetime for all of us!

Thanks Candace,

I was afraid of that, but that's okay. I'll suck it up and be a big girl and enjoy the experience, not the cold water.

I think it will be fun having some kids along, too. I'm glad you don't mind them coming along. Maya is almost a grown-up!

Hi folks,

for those worried about the water, I discovered that the temps should be between 65 and 75, depending on currents and warmth of the warm season. Basically, it'll be like swimming in Berryessa last weekend! Not to worry!

Oh Martin I hope you are right! Of course I didn't swim Berryessa last week (I don't like cold water and I don't like open water) but I could handle Berryessa temps so I hope you are right!
