Boats/Visitors/Sightings

• An average number of ecotour boats today – the tourists were treated with quite a spectacular sunset!

Marine Mammals

• Saw a single California Sea Lion on the jetty early this afternoon – the only sea lion to be visible in the last 3 days.
• Spotted a molting harbour seal near the jetty that seemed to be in a lot of pain. It’s unusual for harbour seals to come to the main island, but this one seemed to be trying to stay out of the water, possibly due to sensitive skin. I kept an eye on it for the evening, and went to check on it this morning but it was gone.
