Odds and Ends

Welcome to the Faralloness II. Go Duke! (wearing the hat to prove the fan hood)



Peregrine Falcon killed Western Gull. Woh. Usually we find Peregrine killed Cassin's and Rhinocerous Auklets. On this occasion, a seagull did not stand a chance.




First week here a helicopter came and picked up materials used to fix the crane. Thus, allowing the picture of me with the caption "Shark Bait". I took quite a few pictures of the day, however this one was taken as the helicopter flew away with gear hanging below.





Photo from this last week. Earlier we spent part of a day inventorying what auklet boxes needed repairs or new sun shades. As a result a whole lot of things needed building and then painting. I dusted off the old painting hat and went to work.




Last but not least, this last Saturday was the annual double-hand sailboat race. The boats leave from San Fran, loop around this island and then race back to through the Golden Gate and into the Bay. Throughout the day I saw 50-60 sailboats. Very impressive.
