I watched one of the juvenile Elephant seals chase some Sea Gulls today. It was probably one of the funniest things I have seen out here. The little seal is so slow, and the small rock outcropping are major obstacles for it. All the Gulls had to do was walk away in a slight circle, or stand on a tiny rock and they were safe.
-Worked on SOPs
-Washed front of Boat Shed
-Traded out propane tanks
-Washed solar panels, which is definitely an everyday activity now with all the Gulls
-Cleaned walkways, also an everyday activity
