• Visibility: 15 miles
• Wind: a relentless 20-30 knots West
• Sky: overcast

• Looks like more of the same weather for the start of the week

Ecological

• There are now 18 elephant seals on Great Race!
• Only saw 3 on Middle Rock, although it was hard to be sure.

Maintenance

• Didn’t do any chores apart from the daily essentials, as I felt a little under the weather.

Boats

• No boats that I know of in the reserve today.
• The odd fishing boat or sail boat out farther.
