The 5th started with heavy fog in the morning, putting off census survey until tomorrow. Fascinating watching tour boats emerging out of the fog in the morning, and then disappearing. Thirteen boats noted throughout the day. Heavy dew made cleaning the solar panels light work. Electric fences needed repair on the north side and along the jetty. Eight students, with Bella, their instructor, and ER Warden Garry Fletcher, with three guests, arrived in the early afternoon.  Wonderful two hour walkabout with  Garry. Thank you. Joined the students in a venture up to the top of the lighthouse. Two groups of four made 14 humpback whale observations. Best place ever for sighting whales.
