perfectly calm day

2 whale watching boats
1 sport fishing boat within reserve boundaries
Coast Guard helicopter flew over

Wind less than 1kn all day, clear skies, and perfectly glassy water

Ran desalinator this morning, freshwater tank is almost full. Spoke with the desalinator technician about some particulars of the system but some mysteries still remain

Reset the Davis instruments weather system so that it uploads data again

A river otter lives under a wood pile next to the tank shed

September 9/13

1040hrs DND started detonating explosives at Bentinck island  – 3 explosions followed by approx 10 minutes break and 3 more. sealions took notice and stood up,but few moved.

 

First day on watch.
Foggy all day so no boat count.
Chris and Erik have left all the systems in order so I just double checked things and settled in.

A nice, patriotic photo for my first day as EcoGuardian at Race Rocks
