still held over in Trwajalein awaiting a
second mate we all arose (except Chris who has
become crepuscular and nocturnal to the point
where his pupils are enlarging; every now and
then the ship rocks violently knocking him out
of bed, and since he is too tired to crawl
back up and in, he stays up); Roger
scampered off in the early morning light to
check the mist net but found nothing had
yet been fooled; George, Ken and I wrapped
three barrels of fish and stored them in the
hold; Larry and Roger skinned birds and
Binion worked on public relations; the stress
and strain of our extended visit is no
longer telling only on us but also on the
security guards who have required us to turn in
or pick up passes as we leave the pier and
in many cases have asked for I.D.'s; despite
this fact the crew of the Shearwater has poured
hundreds of dollars into the PX and an equal
(or near equal) amount into the clubs.
