Oct. 14 - continued
of Pisania and Messerschmidia with Scavola
on the edges out to a fine grained beach.
Their is a coconut tree plantation ( planted
by visiting Marshallese) which provides us with
small, but good nuts, and other grass I cannot
identify; the fauna is extensive species wise:
Red-footed Boobies, Brown Boobies, Blue-faced Boobies,
Great Frigatebirds, Fairy Terns, Hawaiian Noddies,
Brutle-thighed Curlew, Golden Plover, Ruddy Turnstone,
Crested Tern, and others I have not yet
seen; our camp appears to be in better shape,
the habitat is more pleasing and consequently I am
looking forward to a more pleasant stay; hit the
rack at 10:50 - still no rain.
