Great day for whale sightings, 13 in total, mostly out beyond the green starboard buoy and to the east.

Weather

Clear, beautiful day on the rock

Facility work

• Repaired fence. Encouraged three CSLs back over to their side. Moving forward slowly and then backing away (pressure on, pressure off, seems to work best in getting them to move in the direction you are hoping for.
• Solar panels cleaned. Water and salinity readings taken.
