Komodo 2009

On October 14, 2009 I depart for a nine day charter to Komodo on Mermaid I.

As a brilliant full moon lit up San Francisco Bay last night I thought of the balmy beach down in Mexico where the Olive Ridley turtles were hatching and gazing up at the same night sky. Photograph courtesy of Dr. Gustavo Danemann, Pronatura Noroeste
