Hawaii, C.P. 1965 Journal 12 Jan. 25 - 31 At Sea - U.S.S. Hatchite. Cleared the lost channel long at the mouth of Pearl Harbor around 1030. Steamed steadily SW for the 6 day period. Seas relatively calm throughout the trip south. No notable occurrences. Each day just like the one preceding it - dull and boring. Spent part of each day on bird watching, part on preliminary paperwork and planning and part on instructing the various personnel in the packing of their assigned boxes of gear. The officers and crew of this ship seem very congenial and are interested in the work. Unlike all previous ships no one seems disturbed by the fact that he is making a two month "bird cruise". No - doubt this view will show him somewhat altered before the trip is over.
