Boats/Visitors

  • Not a lot of visitors lately, the ecotours are still going by but not as frequently
  • The divers have been around a lot the past couple days
  • Guy and Greg came by, got those logs away from the jetty, the east wind was bringing them right in here

Maintenance

  • Running the generator probably more than I should be, but the power has been going out pretty much daily, no matter how much I run the generator the power will shut off around 6 am
  • I have another final exam on Friday, so posts might be a little infrequent for the next few days

Ecological

  • Fewer sea lions than last week
  • Chunk, is nowhere to be seen but there is another alpha on the island which might be Bernard, might be Boss from the previous year
  • There is also a much smaller male on the island and one very tiny female
  • I am glad the larger alpha showed up, Chunk was not very nice to the pups the year before, I was worried he might attack any new pups this year but with a bigger alpha on the island, the pups might have some protection
