Lehner P. 1964 Nov. 9 has given up hope of returning by Thanksgiving; the sea watch was begun immediately after we left the pier ; at 4:45 we left the lagoon through the southwest passage and began our southeast course toward Jaluit Atoll; we saw the fishing boats trolling beneath large flocks of feeding Hawaiian Noddies and Frigates - they have been having good luck on Marlin lately - two in the last two days - one over 200lbs; at 6:00 the light began to get bad and the watch was secured; the rest of the night was spent in preparation for tomorrow- each of us approaching this task in our own way.
