Maintenance

• Did some more weed whacking along the paths.
• Cleaned the solar panels.

Boats

• 3 eco-tours today.
• 1 rented pleasure craft was seen fishing to the East of Great Race, quite likely within the reserve area where no fishing is allowed.
• The photos I took aren’t the best. I spied them fishing with the binoculars before I could grab the camera.
