good weather, 1 speeding boat

Another beautiful day of clear sky and light wind.  The barometer hit a high of over 1040 hPa today.

Vessels observed in the reserve today: 1 ecotour, 1 dive boat, 1 pleasure craft (rental from Pedder Bay Marina).  The rental boat was traveling over the designated speed limit of 7 knots within 400 meters of the rocks.  I photographed the vessel with 4 people onboard, got the hull numbers and reported it to Pedder Bay Marina who said they would speak with the operators-who were likely unaware of the regulations.

Chopped wood and did some more cleanup of debris in the jetty area.
