The Canada Geese seemed pleased with all the puddles of freshwater from the rain overnight. They were drinking and splashing/bathing all day. There was an Elephant seal on the grass in front of the desalinator bunker this morning. Then, after an hour or so of growling and gurgling, she just up and and left. Still lots of Eagles. The Gulls are getting pretty busy, especially up on the peak of the roof. I was wondering what they were up to all night, smashing around up there. This morning I went out and watched them do this sideways flying-skip manoeuvre while one chases the other. Their clickety-clackety bird claws make a ruckus on the sheet metal roof.

Checked the battery bank at sunrise. It still had a decent charge, even after a cloudy day. Chris says he’s found a supplier for the broken voltage controller, which could arrive tomorrow.
