Creator Transcript
  • July 17/65 [1965] Port Harvey, East Cracroft Island. Left Skull Cove at 10:30 hrs [hours] + had an excellent sail as far as Pultney [Pulteney] Point, with 15 mile + winds. Lost the wind there + powered the rest of the way. Off the S.E. [southeast] end of the Gordon Islands again found large concentrations of phalaropes feeding mostly northerns say 20,000 [+/-], along with them a few reds. No other noteworthy vertebrates. In Skull Cove saw a lone young Marbled Murrelet. July 18/65 [1965] Campbell River, B.C. Left our anchorage at Port Harvey at 10:30 + powered out into Johnstone Strait where we picked up a westerly wind + had a fine sail southward for almost 8 hours. Had to power the final 7 miles to Seymour Narrows which we passed 1 hr [hour] before slack on a flooding tide. The only biological observations of note were the very large numbers of Marbled Murrelets. These reached greatest concentration in the 10 miles before Seymour Narrows + from there to Campbell River. No count was attempted but several hundred birds were involved. No young among them. 20-30 Bonaparte Gulls in the southern end of the Strait.
