Ecological

• Much frenetic elephant seal activity throughout the island and surrounding waters.
• The speed with which they go from slow motion sparring to sleeping side by side is adorable.
• One seal was even snoozing on the ramp with his head under water.
• Between 11 and 15 elephant seals on Great Race.
• We discovered several seagull nests with eggs in them. First ones of the year!

Maintenance

• The four of us engaged in much painting.
• The boathouse floor was finished, along with the derrick room floor, and the yellow on the jetty.
• In the afternoon we used the shorefront pressure washer to remove algae from several walls.
• As is customary out here, we cleaned off the solar panels.

Boats

• Kyle and Guy brought out the pressure washer and various other items at 8:10.
