Yesterday morning Erik came out on Second Nature with Julien,
Garry, and Jake. He took off a pretty full load of wood scraps from a reno of the crane deck, garbage, 4 monitors, propane tanks, old composting toilet, etc. DND blasting occurred at 11:11, 11:14, 11:35 (twice), and 11:36. This morning around 4 am I heard a male elephant seal, presumably Misery, who has been back on the island all day. I worked with Jake on installing the first solar PV tilt kit on the roof of the engine room. The kit is apparently rated to withstand 125 mph winds. It should provide greater solar exposure and accumulate less gull excrement thereby requiring less desalinated water to clean.
