. Thanks to Mike Slater for picking us up in the station boat to go to Race Rocks. We didn't have a lot of time on the boat because the wind was rising and Mike wanted to get us back on land (and himself back on the island!) before landing got too tricky.... so we did a very quick circumnavigation of the archipelago and had a 10 minute stay on the big rock. Thus we didn't keep separate tabs on each of the islet groups.
Observers were: Richard Cannings, Russell Cannings, Sydney Cannings, and Andrew Harcombe.
