Darwin did it with The Beagle, I discovered the Galapagos with The Athala, a small catamaran. The pioneers in 1535 thought they arrived in hell when they saw big amounts of gruesome iguanas, but for me the Galapagos are like heaven, a timeless dimension where the beauty of nature lifts you up and where animals are your only contact with the world. The volcanic island group resembles an immense ark of Noah, a wet dream for every nature lover in an almost virgin scenery.
