Notes

Partly cloudy and calm with no rainfall in past 24 hrs. Lots of minnows and small fish in the water around the rocky shore and some wasps flying around. No birds at this time. Spoke with several groups of tourists here who were keen on what I was doing so told them about WR and gave cards directing them to the website.
