DEVIL'S CROWN... .Sharks lingered outside of Devil's Crown.  It was the top of a volcano that partly stuck out of the water.  I snorkeled inside the crown taking in all the coral, fish, and starfish.  I didn't leave the circle because outside the crater were sharks.  I didn't know why the sharks didn't enter the crown.  I was pleased that they didn't.  I mean, really, who wants to swim with sharks?

Frigate in Flight
 
Fishermen, either legally or not, worked the waters of Floreana Island. Wherever you saw fishermen, there were also scavenger frigate birds. They looked like they belonged in Jurassic Park. As for the fishermen, when I saw them, I was glad I was in the Galapagos and not in the waters off Somalia.
