I only know what the date is because I am keeping track with these journal entries, but the days of the week seem to be lost, and so I find myself asking every two or three days. This Sunday was a work day around here. The past two weekends we've been in McMurdo and havw not had to work. Turks Head has been our focus for the past four days because of the deep dive data that has been recorded by the most recent seals used with instruments. There are over 40 adult seals usually found along this crack when the conditions are normal.
Most seals tend to head for the water and stay there during snow and very windy weather.
However, mothers with newborn pups stay on the surface. We had four animals still left to detach instruments from. Yesterday we needed to get two but never found them. Today we found one of those two and one of two we wanted today. We had an easy time of removing the frst one.
