Field Notes Doug Bell July 14, 1989 We drove from Bamfield to Port Alberni, then on to Nanaimo. Took Cristie (a Dane) with, dropped her off at the ferry. I managed to drop my specimens off at the Pacific Biol. Station in Nanaimo. Also got some liq. N2. Mr. Bill Ross was extremely helpful. He took 1 1/2 hours of his time to locate the N2. Bill is Admin. Head at the Station. We then # left Nanaimo for Tofino. Nice drive over the highway. Not bad for a Friday evening. In Tofino the Mimi Motel had no vacancy, so instead we went to The Pacific Breeze Motel (Wir Sprechten Deutsch). Mistake. Crazy place, and they woke us up at 4:00 am playing Land "Heimat Lieder" in the bar. July 15, 1989 Met Dave of Nootka Charters at the Gal. Dock. Called Red Palm up, and he agreed to take us out to Uclueft Island at around @ 13:00. Actually picked us up at 13:30. Calm, slightly overcast day. Slow, nice ride. Rod took us first to Ahous Bay, along way we saw 4 River Otter - In Ahous got a good view of a Gray Whale. Lots of Marbled Murrelets! Then in to Ucleud & Shot 5/7 5 gulls (DAB 562-566) on 7 shots. On the way back Rod took us to his boat house. 2 of his kids accompanied me [Pearl ?, + Shell ?]. Met Rod's wife Sharon. Really a unique family. They live in a large large boat.
