Ecological

  • The usual 15 elephant seals on Great Race today.
  • I enjoyed watching them play on the ramp.
  • Some of them just lie there and occasionally splash water onto their backs with a flipper. Very handlike those flippers of theirs.

Maintenance

  • More weed whacking. Took out lots of the Canada Thistle.
  • Cleaned the solar panels.
  • Investigated the pressure washer for future use.

Boats

  • At least 5 eco-tours today.

Other

  • A few DND blasts today.

Smokey bang!
