Sand Dune come back in before dark. Anglers still at it at 7:30 as we gave up. Only Temporarily however - M. boat run scheduled for 11:30 went instead at 10:30, leaving us stranded. C6 could not pick us up until 12:45 as we carried back, to find the fishermen still there. With sinking hopes we headed for the farthest point away on the east shore in that area and so and behold hit the exact point where the bird was sitting. A slight motion on the shore moved me to immediate action and I hit the water only a few feet behind the creature. A rather unwelcome moonlight swim and of course to no avail. Well, at least we know the thing can't fly. Feb 1 Discovered two grey-back tern eggs, one attended, and one possible rusty egg on end of old dock. All other eggs still present (except for figate horses or redditors). A second molly appears to be preparing to lay on the east shore between the pair toes and brown boobies.
