Mon 9 October
Cloud/sun; breezy
Mended much fencing including rewiring at jetty where numerous sealions had breached. Quite a challenge to get
down ramp to lift blocks up to jetty among bothered sealions. Topped up batteries. Washed windows of keeper’s
house. Much ecotour activity from both sides of border. Cruise ship in. Two trips up tower to count further. Sealions
endlessly fascinating—studying & researching to gain understanding.
