Gould, P. J. 1963--At Sea done. How, seems to be a matter of conjecture and apparently there are conflicting opinions between the Smithsonian, the Navy, and DESERT. I have not tried to air my own views but they appear to be somewhat in conflict with all three above mentioned parties. I think it best to just sit back and see how things proceed. This first run will turn out to be merely a shakedown cruise so that everyone will find out what each other has in mind. Even so I think there is a good chance to get a lot accomplished (if everyone will work together). July 30, 1963--Waikiki, Oahu, Hawaii We got up this morning and had breakfast with John Bushman. We went from here to the YAG 39 at Pearl Harbor. Picked up supplies at Pearl City and loaded them on the YAG. About 1:20 p.m. we met Bill Wirtz, Peter Marshall and Mike Trevor at the airport. Later in the day I walked down the major Waikiki way until I got to the zoo. Unfortunately it was about 5:30 p.m. and the zoo was closed. Large numbers of India Mynahs, Bared Doves and Chinese Spotted Doves were present. The Indian Mynah must be the most common bird on the island. It's everywhere in large numbers. I saw one Brazilian Cardinal in the park by the zoo and heard one American cardinal. A little later on the lawn in front and to one side of the Surf Queen Hotel I saw a small flock of 6 Rice birds. English sparrows were present as I walked back to the hotel. July 31, 1963--Pearl Harbor, Oahu Island, Hawaii We checked out of the Waikiki Hotel today and spent all morning getting supplies stored aboard the YAG 39. We got our rooms settled, etc. Mike
