The day was sunny with a 154 20 knot wind
blowing. I made a quick round of the
shua nests on this side & walked over
To the Shruery, primarily to get photos of
some of the chicks in B&G.
In late evening walked along N. shore
checking for Chinstrap penguins &/o Leopard
Seals. Saw one Weddell Seal swimming
along the shore. The wind was still
blowing about 20 mph.
Feb 5 Cape Hallett, Antarctica
Sunday. I haven't made an
entry in several days I see. No
matter nothing much has been
happened. I have shinned out, scraped
& salted the batch of adult penguins
killed. Made one round of Shruery
weighing penned chicks, picked up
another 50 lbs of poy stern remain
which await processing. Yesterday
afternoon which was still & sunny I
took movies of penguins swimming.
The first good day in some time.
Also Brian & Colin arrived back from
Adare about 6 A.M on the 4. Most of
the camp stayed up until the ship came
many because they were going out
to visit the dentist. I retired at 8:30 a 7:00 AM
