Ecological

• Chunk and Chuckles still in their respective positions on Great Race.
• Noticed over 50 harbour seals today.
• In general much more wildlife than yesterday.

Maintenance

• Ran the fire pump for 40 minutes. This added about 1′ of water to the cistern.
• Filled up the tidy tank using the equivalent of one barrel of diesel (55 gallons).
• Stacked more firewood.
• Emptied the ash from the wood stove in the main house.
• General tidying up in the house to make it ready for the next Eco-guardian.
• Wrote my shift end report.

Boats

• One pleasure craft was hanging out near West Rock in the morning.
• In the afternoon one eco-tour came through Middle Channel. It was a strange looking boat that I had never seen before with the words “Luna BC” on it.
• The HMCS Ottawa was out in the straight. According to the Marine Traffic website it made it all the way out to the open ocean today.

Other

• I couldn’t get the camera to take any photographs today. I think I bumped one of its many buttons (most of which I don’t know what they do) as it appears to be on a different setting than I am used to.
