Calm

Clear skies. Light NE in the am, glassy calm by evening. Force 0.
Barometer dropped a little, but levelled off this evening at 1024 hPa. Forecast is for moderate Easterlies tomorrow.

4 tour boats in the afternoon.

5 bald eagles this morning. The Elephant seals were in the water again first thing this morning. They came back up onto the island around 0900, and then went back for a late afternoon cool down. A new juvenile came ashore today with some very uncomfortable looking scabby-molt. The large male is next to the diesel bunker. Many of the seal are fully moulted now and look sleek and healthy. I’m curious to see how long they stick around. Many of the Steller Sea lions were not in the reserve this afternoon when I came back on the boat. No sign of Guillemot nesting on the bluff yet.

Off station for most of today for groceries and errands.
Took in garbage and recycling.
Took hedge trimmer into maintenance for servicing.
Traded broken VHF antenna for a working antenna.
