Wildlife Notes:
- The dead Steller sea lion is still in the jetty bay and untouched by scavengers. The tide last night did flip it over and move it slightly away from the boat ramp.
Facility work:
- The generator ran automatically this morning from midnight to 08:00 because the state of charge dipped to 66%. This afternoon, the solar energy kept the battery topped up.
