Boats/Visitors/Sightings

• A coast guard helicopter brought technicians this morning to work on the lighthouse electronics
• Guy, Jeff, Travis and my friend/Pearson alum Sam Unger came to the island later in the afternoon. Travis was getting trained on docking the boat at Race Rocks, while Jeff and Guy came to have a look at the broken laundry machine. Sam came to visit me and he’ll be staying here until Monday.

Marine mammals

• The last elephant seal left the island yesterday, leaving harbour seals and sea lions as the only mammals on the main island.
• I received a report from Vancouver Aquarium about an entangled steller in the area. I’ve informed the various whale watching companies, and I’ll be keeping an eye out for it myself.
