- 2015年9月12日午後、Santa Cruz Island, Bachas beachでシュノーケリング
- On September 12, 2015 in the afternoon: Snorkeling at Bachas beach, Santa Cruz Island.
午後は、白い砂浜のBachas海岸でシュノーケリングや海水浴の予定だった。上手な人はヨットから直接海に飛び込んだ。初心者はタグボートで砂浜まで移動して練習したようだ。私達はシュノーケリングの経験がないので海には入らず、ヨットで休んでいた。
On September 12, 2015, in the afternoon, there was a plan of snorkeling at a sandy beach Bachas in the Santa Cruz Island. Persons who are good at snorkeling jumped into the sea directly from the yacht. The beginner moved to the sandy beach on the tugboat and seemed to practice. We did not have experience of the snorkeling and then we took a rest on the yacht without entering the sea.

飛ぶアオアシカツオドリの腹部が空色に見えた。白い羽毛に海の空色が反射してこのように見えているようだ。
The belly of the flying Blue-footed booby looked like sky blue. The white feather of the bird seems to reflect the sky blue of the sea.

カッショクペリカンも優雅に飛んでいた。頭部が比較的大きいので、首をすぼめて重心が胸部になるようにして飛ぶ。
The Brown pelican was also flying elegantly. The pelican flies by making the neck narrower to keep the center of gravity being at the chest because the head is comparatively big.
