Sea lions at Sunset

 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAEcological Happenings

  • Light winds from the North East and calm seas. Great visibility.
  • The alpha male Elephant seal is keeping himself between the other male and female occasionally issuing rumbling snorts of superiority from his inflated proboscis.
  • The female and smaller Elephant seal continue to remain virtually inseparable, though obviously acutely aware of the males and their movements.

Marine Vessels

  •  None.

Maintenance

  • Logs removed from jetty/boat ramp.
  • ‘No load’ test carried out on battery bank ‘B’ to check validity of health test results performed yesterday. This indicates some maintenance of the battery bank is required.
  • O-rings replaced and seals cleaned on pressure washer pump, one-way valves to be checked before reassembly.
