Good Evening
TEMPERATURE: Max. 13.0 º C »» Min. 4.9 ºC »» Reset 10.0 ºC »» Rain o.4 mm
MARINE LIFE: 1 immature bald eagle arrived at first light but flew off toward Whirl Bay just after 10:00.A little after 14:00, 1 mature Eagle flew overhead,landed on the most easterly point of the southeast rocks and is still there, no doubt near sunset it will make it’s ’rounds’ of Gr. Race and get the gulls agitated.The Harbour seals are gradually being floated off their haul-out spots as the tide rises.Most of them have been hauled out all day,and with dry fur, look like sun bleached logs scattered about the islands.Today was one of those spring days that you hate to see the sun go down,even with a colourful sunset!
HUMAN INTERACTION: 2 pleasure craft and 2 ecotour boats today. At 08:30 The Coast Guard helicopter landed one person to do some repairs in the tower ( fixing the rubber seal around the fog detector) The chopper returned 11:30 or so to return worker to Victoria Base. The 2nd Nature was in this morning with teachers and students for Bio. class.Finally, a nice day for an outdoor class.
