MY CACHE OF HONEY, CHOCOLATE, AND EMPTY BAND BAGS AND TUBES. I PUT THE PACK ON MY BACK AND MARCHED TOWARD THE SOOTY TERN COLONY BETWEEN THE CASURINA CLUMP, WHERE MY CACHE WAS, AND CAMP. I PUT 4700 CW AT 0645 AND CALLED IT QUITS. I HAD MY SECOND WIND BY THEN, BUT I KNEW THAT BY 0715 WHEN I FINISHED THAT IT WOULD BE ALMOST TOO LATE TO GET EVERYBODY UP AND OUT TO THE SHIP FOR BREAKFAST. I COULD HAVE EASILY MADE FIVE GRAND, BUT 460/hr FOR TWELVE HOURS SEEMED SUCH A NICE FIGURE TO STOP AT. I SPENT MOST OF THE DAY SLEEPING AND RECUPERATING FROM THE ORDEAL OF THE NIGHTS BANDING. WE BANDED AND BLED AGAIN ON THE NIGHT OF THE 18TH. THE CREW WOULD ONLY LET ME HAVE 700 BANDS WHILE THEY EACH TOOK 1,000. THE EXCUSE WAS THAT THEY HAD TO BUILD UP THEIR AVERAGE TOO. ON THE 19TH WE CENSUSED THE POPULATIONS ON THE ISLAND. PHIL AND I WENT AROUND THE BEACH COUNTING MONK SEALS. WE COUNTED: 52 ADULTS (15) M-37, F-30, ?-8 ; IMM (26) M-10, F-6, ?-10 ; PUP OF YEAR (33) M-14, F-17, ?-2 ; NEWBORN (3) 2-2, 1? 16 ADULTS WERE NOTED TO BE PAIRED. WE PAINTED 34 ANIMALS WITH GOLD PRINT AND WERE SURPRISED TO FIND PAINTED ANIMALS HIGH AND DRY ON THE BEACHES WE HAD NOT YET COUNTED. THIS REMINDED US TO BE CAREFUL IN OUR COUNTING - INACCURACIES COULD DEVELOP. ON THE NIGHT OF THE 19TH WE ALL TOOK VIALS OR TICK JARS AND LOOKED AROUND FOR ECTOPARASITES. WE MADE A 2200 EXODUS FROM LISIANSKI AND HEADED BACK TO LAYSAN FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS OF OUR GIG. NAME CF. RUSSIAN EXPLORER UREL LISIANSKI WHO GROUNDED HIS SHIP THERE ENROUTE FROM ALASKA TO CHINA.
