Gale

Clear skies all day. Super calm, glassy morning. Blowing West 40+ by mid-afternoon. It always pays to do your chores when the weather is nice.

3 tour boats.

People keep telling me that sometime last week there was a pod of Orcas in the reserve harassing the seals. I must have been looking in the opposite direction.

There was a boat fishing within the reserve. They did not respond to radio calls, or to me standing on the jetty blowing a whistle and waving my arms. I reported them to the illegal fishing hotline.

-Set up hoses from low-pressure pump on the desal unit to the PV panels so I can use water from the cistern to keep panels clean
-Fixed some loose wiring on the Whaler
