2 Aug - 4 Aug 1964 36. Honolulu much wet and wind work, very little to do. On 3 Aug we see Kan, Ptol, & other sea members off: Gild, Helen, King, Hunted remain, ships off to big island. PM - to Wailuku beach - my first swim there. 4 Aug - Amazing - I am to go back to Kauai to do some work with King on Newell's. AM. I go to Pearl with Kaufman & get all the blood-material together for Sand island. Then at 1530 we fly off to Kauai. Nothing goes right we cannot get our helicopter today, - we sleep at Haleiwa Sunny Cabin. We finally decide on Kokee first night to listen for Newell's. The first person we see is Maggie. We camp at Kalalau to listen, then to Waimea overlook. The big sea-pigeon we hear 3 or 4 birds that cannot be. A few Newell's are heard, from both the Kalalau lookout & the ridge further down Kalalau - Hoena Rd.
