Mar 6/61 [1961] After dark 7 large sharks came
around the vessel, the largest in my
estimation was 8-9 ft [feet] long, the smallest
about 5 ft [feet]. We hooked the largest
but he broke a heavy swivel +
escaped. They showed little of recognize-
able characteristics, broad head + broad
blunt rostrum were noticeable, very
large expanse of pectoral, no white or
dark markings discernible, crevallis +
sierra swarmed around the vessel
later on.
Mar [March] 7/61 [1961] Before breakfast did a bit of dredging
+ got nothing. After breakfast Larry [Harry Meredith?] + I
landed at the slough on the Eastern
sandspit; at noon he was taken off + I
walked back to the anchorage along the
beach.
In the mangrove thickets alongside the slough
saw + took 3 grey-headed flycatchers; saw
4 water thrush, 6-8 Parula warblers, 1 Blue
mockingbird, 3 nightherons.
Proceeding along the watercourse saw a
deer + shot at but lost a rabbit. Birds
in the dry open forest with some tall trees
