Boats/Visitors/Sightings

• There were quite a few Pearson alumni who visited the island on short 20 min tours this past week, as a part of their 10 year reunion. Photo attached!

Technical

• The washing machine is now non-functional – it suddenly stopped working earlier this week while I was doing laundry. Guy helped me drain the detergent water from it. We suspect there’s something wrong with the controller – it’s expected of a machine that’s 10+ years old.

Bird Notes

• No new seagulls chicks have been born in the last 2 weeks, so I’m guessing that is all for this season. There remain a few unhatched eggs and I don’t expect they will hatch.
• The geese population remains steady at 6-7 birds. They seem to be roaming around the island.

Marine mammals

• After not seeing that injured/malnourished california sea lion for a week now, I think it most definitely has passed away.
• There are now 12 sea lions near the jetty area, and many more on the surrounding rocks!
