R.S. Crossin 1966 SIC 11 March 18 - 14-40N; 157-49W - 16-52N; 157-47W Seas again very rough. Could not collect, supposedly because starboard engine controls were ready to break, but without doubt reason in actuality was crew and Capt. alike have channel fever. 10 Phalaropes ?/ Sanderlings sighted but of course could not collect any. Appear to be Red Phalaropes, but uncertain until one is collected. Thirty Sooty Terns for a total of 44 birds. March 19 - 19-00N; 157-42W - 20-58N; 158-57W Day similar to yesterday. Total of 45 birds few more petrels, 1 Sooty/ Slenderbill, and possibly 1 Mottled Petrel, 2 Phalapes sp. again today. Arrive Honolulu about 8-8:30 tonight. Two Black-footed Albatrosses started following ship today.
