So with my first full day off I am beginning to settle in. We all have our own rooms (the old Coast Guard Barracks used to house about 35) so it is nice to have the space. My room came decorated which is a great thing because all we have out here to decorate with is stuff that washes up on the beaches. For the most part this is just trash, but if you are lucky you can find those glass Japanese fishing floats. So with a day off comes the task of trying to fill the hours. We have over 600 movies and tons of books to keep you occupied. We also have a weight room and a 3000 foot runway to jog or walk on. Not to mention we have the entire Pacific Ocean to our disposal, although we rarely go outside our little lagoon.
On Monday we are back at the never ending task of trying to band and document the birds that use this little island as their nesting grounds. But for now all I have to do is to relax and work on my tan. Hope all is well back on the mainland.
Aloha ~Tim
