R.J.Bisson Journal 1965 16 July. Laycan and remains attached - unlike Brisco, stated about them leaving the last during daylight hours. We handled some Sooty Terns and Albatross throughout the day and began banding Sooties in earnest again at dark. Everyone was very tired from the grind over the past week with little play and a lot of work now and then. Finished my banding about 7:00 a.m. and tried to get a few hours sleep before the flies came up at daylight. 19 July. Spent the day banding Sooties and Black Terns. Sooty skulls ran hotoken by being a small hand net with one person banding - the other swaying the net and attending. Dayle and I have some sneaking suspicion that the boys are doing a bit of band chucking because of the rapidity, which they finish at times - although either as necessary very fast. At dusk we again banded Sooty adults and Laycan Albatross (fled). Spent the day banding Laysan and Black Tern Albatross. Wound up all handy by night (ca 9:00 p.m.) saw for a few Albatross birds. Started wood work about 10:00 p.m. Wood work went slow and we did not finish. 20 July R.J.Bisson Journal 1965 20 July (cont) Laycan until after daylight on 21. Much of the problem, here was that everyone was dead beat after the previous weeks and few old days of island work. Despite the prospect I taking forward to boarding Shearwater in the morning, it became very difficult to keep awake. 21 July After unwinding my the banding, Jeff and Bryan went out and finished my fleet than 100 Albatross bands that remained, and we broke up camp. All but from the Shearwater cause in and we loaded - leaving the island at 10:00 a.m. After unloading things, upon reaching the ship, Shyld and I started blood work (centrifuging). By this time it became very, very difficult to stay awake. Came by with 108 samples. Finished blood work about 2:00 p.m. Such time Arrived back at Honolulu about 5:00 p.m. 24 July 2 Aug. Out for Honolulu, Hawaiian). Dashed Off in Shearwater from Honolulu at 0910. Mr. O'Brien is not acting as Captain. Brescian author - Capt. Kaul will be returning. Bisson Anderson
