Harbour at main island.....

When Jude needed help at a post office in Ecuador,  Jiron and Beth came to her assistance  Jiron was on his way to Galapagoes to become a guide.

 Over dinner on board Banyandah in Ecuador we agreed to meet Jiron in Galapagoes two months hence.

 He became a guide and we with Banyandah took his lady Beth on a tour of these unique islands.

For once everything went according to plan.
