Ecological

• Chuckles spent the day lying on the grass on the SE corner of Great Race.
• Chunk attempted to mate with the grieving mother in the morning.
• After mating, Chunk chased the new female and seemed to wound her slightly, before giving up the chase and going into the water.
• Chunk spent the rest of the day on Middle Rock with the mother and pup.
• The newest (fourth) pup is still doing well.

Maintenance

• Finished stacking firewood under the stairs of the Students’ House.
• Hauled away many small chunks of wood from near the ramp.
• Noticed that the wind direction meter seems to be malfunctioning at the Davis Weather Station. Looking into what can be done.

Boats

• One eco-tour boat passed by at 14:00 heading West, before returning at 15:30. At times it seemed to be closer to the rocks than is permitted.
