R.D. Kirkpatrick 1964 Journal Pacific south of Hawaii Sept. 29 Saw relatively few sea birds. Tue. A Golden Plover landed on the helicopter deck where we stand watch and a sailor, Seaman Hamby, killed it with a pellet gun. Gould made it into a skin. In the evening the Captain and other sailors were fishing off the fantail. They caught a Dolphin, a greenish fish, that weighed 14 lbs. and was 2ft ± long. Sept. 30 I stood the 6A-8AM, 10 to 12 noon, and Wed 4PM to sundown watch. Relatively few sea birds were seen - Great Frigatebirds, White-Tailed Tropic- birds, a Kamekeck (sq) Petrel, etc. Another Golden Plover landed on the helo deck and again Hamby shot it and Gould made it up. The sea remains fairly calm (4 to 6 ft waves) and the trade wind blows. It is hot but this is the coolest day of the trip so far. A few flying fishes are observed.
