September 9/13

1040hrs DND started detonating explosives at Bentinck island  – 3 explosions followed by approx 10 minutes break and 3 more. sealions took notice and stood up,but few moved.

 

First day on watch.
Foggy all day so no boat count.
Chris and Erik have left all the systems in order so I just double checked things and settled in.

A nice, patriotic photo for my first day as EcoGuardian at Race Rocks
