Splash Point 7/5/13

Only an 11 hour stint today as I had to leave for 3 hours, but fortunately no Poms were missed in that time frame. It was slower than yesterday but as always the company was good.

The winds are turning westerly now so today will be my last seawatch of the Pom season as I am also going away next week. It was somewhat better than I expected it would be from a few weeks back and it was good to do some all day sessions. As tedious as they can be, I still enjoy them.

Pomarine Skua - 9
Arctic Skua - 3
