There's no question what the highlight of the day was today. It could have been seeing penguins diving through the water through schools of fish. It could have been the green sea turtles munching on algae inches from us underwater. It could have been the 100's of marine iguanas piled up on each other sneezing salt into the air to regulate their salt content. All of those things were absolutely amazing, but they were not THE highlight of the day. That would have to be the 10 or so minutes spent feet away from a large Mola mola, or oceanic sunfish. These pelagic fish do come into this area, but not regularly. This was my third time at this island and and we've not seen these until today. Oftentimes when people do see them, it is very brief, but this one stayed with us for a while. Unfortunately I am still not able to post photos. For those of you who don't know what fish I'm talking about, be sure and look it up! Photos of the real thing will come later.
