Field Notes Doug Bell August 2, 1984 Waked up the gulls + mings for most of the morning + early afternoon. Weather mostly sunny, some mistal clouds. We left the lagoon at Murchison Island around 16:30. We circled the outside of Murchison, over past Hot Springs Island and came around the SE point of Ramsey Island into Juan Perez Sound. Nice cliffs on SW side of Ramsey Island. The boat motor cut off in the sand at mid-way point. Turns out, it was a clogged fuel filter. We pressed on thru Burnaby Strait + Narrows, meaning thru rocks in a "river" of salt water. Then out Skincuttle Inlet, to the south of which the abandoned Vedway Iron Mine near Jedway Bay on Mnersly I. was visible. We continued south past Ikeda Mt. + Goodwin Pt., going thru the lee side of Rankine Islands across Carpenter's Bay. The numbers of sealids began to increase. We skirted around Benjamin Pt. Garvin Rocks did not appear to have any gulls on it. We entered Rose Harbor Inlet, between Mnersly I. and Knight I. The weather was calm, smooth, light overcast. Got into Rose Harbor ca. 19:00. Rose Harbor consists of a few "settlers" and their houses, placed on the old whaling station property. The station closed operating about [illegible] in the 1940's. We went to John & Susan's house - a veritable mixture of brick floors, wood walls, and greenhouse. Tremendous garden. They have 2 boys, Aaron & . Jill was visiting, as were a couple whale biologists from the Island Rose.
