lehner, P. 1964 77 Oct.2 still heading on our 250° WSW course; the weather is raining down little droplets of water from frequent squalls; had the 10-12 and 4-6 watches with Binion (all watches are with Binion); slowly I'm able to pick birds out at further distances with the naked eye; my queasiness is about gone but is recharged by seeing Hober hang upside down from the top bunk Oct.3 had the 8-10 and 2-4 watches; still eating hardy; the sausage is ungodly; so far have added the following birds to my life list: Harcourt's oraches Storm Petrel, Bonin Is., Cook's, Pale-footed and Sooty Shearwaters; we are constantly putting up numerous flying fish which exchange environments to avoid the ship - they can glide from 100-150 yards without trouble - they need only enter the lower portion of their tail into the water, take a short burst of undulations and gain enormous momentum again - they seem to be in schools according to their size - the larger ones have reddish pectorals, the smaller have clear pectorals - I am assuming this is a size and not a species difference; weather bad all day with intermittent sunshine from 12-2; night was windier with rain.
