We went further down alongside Harbour Passage this morning to conduct our water quality tests. We ended up going along the new addition alongside the structure for the Annual Harbour Tree of Lights Campaign. On the outskirts of the harbour, we could make out a harbour seal on the surface of the water as his head bobbed up and down in the waterway. Weather was excellent - clear skies, sun, and small wind present.
