"DeBenedetto 1967 1 March (prob. jellyfish) and 2 more of the dark unspotted form. It seems the same as before and is always well off from the ship. Following are about 15-20 Black Petrels. Saw a Black Petrel and 2 jellyfish, which seemed to flush from the water, in a couple of minutes after dinner, and then and 20-25 Black Petrels but only 1 or 2 Ocean- odema following the ship, if any. The Black Petrels are coming much closer, but it is too dark to see much on them. This is much like the pattern they showed on the trip down, coming in at night. A Masked Booby adult came by the ship at this time, and little after that was to be seen. There were flying fish and various large types breaking surface all day long, and large brown "fish" (? sharks), and I saw (small marlin-type (3+ ft long). None of the tunas or - Gnad Birds accompanying them. There were two main types of flying fish, a large brown fin and a small clear fin, the latter more common, and the fish were in small flocks, all. Don't know when we are getting in Guayaquil, but the mid shipcrew said Capt. Bowman likes to arrive at 5 and leave at 6. Got ship position from Pyle. Saw 2 movies in the evening & went to bed. 2 March In the A.H., we were about 5-10 miles off the coast N of the mouth of the River to Guayaquil.
