Arrived off Jemo Island late in the afternoon, ate aboard and then left for the island prepared to spend the night. Set out rat traps. Brian set up his insect light. Rogers Larry walked the shore before dark looking for skerhids. After dark we all walked around the edge of the vegetation. Saw 3 Red-foots, 2 Brown, a few Fairy Terns on the outside and many in the interior. Birds impossibly high. Larry found a Turtile, the first we have seen live ashore at night. They are as ponderous and somehow magnificent in life as on film. To sed about 830 under an open tuncifed skeller over which we spread a tent fly.
