Lindblad in Galapagos
 
We are going to take a Lindblad Cruise, on the Endeavour, in September. Has anyone information on the weather at that time in terms of cloudiness, fog, rain, etc. We know it will be warm compared to northern North America.
Also, can anyone with photographic experience tell me if I will need a lens longer than 400mm.
Thanks,
John

Here is a weather link.

Nothing longer than 400 needed. Be sure you can zoom back to more like 35 easily.

Have a great trip.

If you want to take a picture of a blue footed booby's eye, you will need a 400mm. However, that bird will likely be sitting about one foot from you so 400mm will probably be overkill :) That's the beauty of the Galapagos...

Thanks to both of you. You have saved me the cost of renting a lens. I see that I can get on fine with what I have.
