We circled around Destrehan, and I got some nice shots of the island. Drove to Olympia, then Seattle. June 30, 1989 Went to Burke Museum (after dropping off the car for major left-front drive shaft repair). Met Severant Rohwer, Dennis Paulson, Chris Woods. Then went to Bob Paine's lab. Talked to him & Mimi Kochl for awhile. July 2, 1989 Came to Friday Harbor, WA on the ferry from Anacortes today. Partial rain. Saw few Rhino. Auklets, 2 Bald Eagles on the ferry ride.
