Ecological

• There were 8 elephant seals on Great Race today.
• In the afternoon, 5 of them headed down to the ramp for a dip, but none of them departed.
• There seem to be less seagulls and cormorants than last time I was here.
• By contrast, there seems to be more songbirds and ducks.

Maintenance

• Everything seems to be in good order. Spent the afternoon unpacking and settling in.

Boats

• Kyle picked up Anne around 10:00, and brought me out to Great Race around 11:00.
• Saw one eco-tour in the reserve.
• Several fishing boats out of the reserve.
• A tug towing a large barge passed by the Rosedale Rock.
• Another tug towing what looked to me like a pile driver passed to the north of the reserve.
