Seal Team Two, Part 3 - Hampered by bad weather
Posted May 20th, 2007 by DanielCrocker
The bad weather has hampered the fishing crew on the Gould and cost us the extra half day of seal-catching that they were trying to give us. It looks as if we will leave Palmer Sunday afternoon as originally planned -- that means our time for catching seals will be very tight.
We've explored the local area but haven't found any suitable animals. There are fur seals and elephant seals but only one wounded juvenile crabeater seal and leopard seals that are not in appropriate locations for capture. There was also this gentoo penguin. We'll have another look around on the Zodiac today and then pack up the gear for departure on Sunday.
