Today is our last day here at beautiful Guadalupe Island.  We awoke to the sound of the soft pitter patter of rain drops splashing on the deck above.  Rainbows were shining on the rock face as huge waterfalls ran down the cracks and crevices of this mountanous island.  The sound of a Guadalupe water fall was amazing, and was truly a thing of beauty.

As our divers suited up for the last time, I thought back to when we first arrived,  not knowing what to expect.  The Elephant Seals that were here in the begining have left for deep water,while the sharks we have been  looking for day in and day out still elude us.

This morning Laysan albatross took to the skies as the rain began to fall, while in the background the entire island has turned a dark shade of green during our stay.  What an amazing adventure we have had over the last 20 days!

As we pulled the anchor for the last time, we wave good-bye to the island that treated us so well and has become a friend.  We hope in the upcoming years to be able to introduce you all to this incredible oasis.

Adios Guadalupe…see you next summer!
