Was quite busy this weekend but things have calmed down a bit now
Weather
- Visibility: 15 Miles
- Wind: 5-15 SE
- Sky: Clear
- Water: Flat
Boats/Visitors
- The couple who will be taking the summer shift came by today for a little orientation, ran them through some of the chores we do here and will get more training time when we switch mid May
- beautiful out the last couple days since the wind calmed down, there has been plenty of boats around
Maintenance
- The solar panels really need to be scrubbed, I will try get that done tomorrow morning before the sun comes up, they are very difficult to clean when the sun is beating down on them
Ecological
- 14 elephant seals, the pup is still here
- very few sea lions, around 100 of them, seems to be an even mix of stellar and californias
- about 12 geese around and 7 goslings so far
- a couple hundred pigeon guillemots around today
- about 6 oystercatchers, they will probably start nesting soon
- a little group of harlequins around along with about 200 gulls that are starting to build their nests as well
- there is at least 50 harbour seals on the outer rocks and that’s about it for a rough census
