15 Sun on board the Golden Bear off central Mexico. footed Shearwater (larger than the jaeger) flew across the bow, circled about and dove into the water once. The bill was pink and it sort twin towred its feet, which were also pink. The back was never uniformly colored, the flight feathers a little darker than the rest, and the tail was broadly rounded almost to the tip. wing beats very slow & loose jointed. A adult Red-billed Tropic Bird with good tails flew over the boat without paying any atten- tion to the boat. Bill grey-red, and flight strong and steady. About 10 minutes later we saw 2 Dominic Jaegers together, then 1 with tails, then 3 together and finally 1 alone, which showed a white patch on the secondaries. All are in a white belled, dark plumage, and flew low and pretty much solitarily. About 5:30 a single dark booby (like we have been seeing during the day. The brown color of belly is very uniform and the bill is greenish grey. In the evening we had a delightful full meeting covering trips on the islands and unloading. We have 50-75 tons of water to bring into the calbon, with not uncertain prospects of load- ing. This promises to be most conical in about 7 months. 3 main trips organized, 1 to Fernandina, 1 to Hood, and 1 a general tour of the islands. Position at noon 16°00 N, 104°49'W, equals 150 miles south of Manzanillo, Colima, Mex. Got some files dates (on table) from the log via Bob Pyle.
