Got up at 7.30 after very wakeful night. After breakfast went swimming.

During afternoon I organised Jayne & Bruce to do the transect project - out from bay on N side of island - I set up microscope - sorted animals. - collected some tube dwelling operculate worms - Serpulids? for Louisette - Worms orange -red - tubes almost papery & after fused together - collected from 1-2m in bay to NE side of island. Other "serpulids" on weed (Sargassum) - apparently not operculate.

#1 - most northerly has recently been invaded by waves - apart from Austrocochlea & Bembicium no other organisms observed except for dead drift Sargassum.
#2 -Next pool south is notable because of the large amount of v. large Ulva plants - c thalli up to aobut 2x0.75m - in general of robust texture - some less robust (moribund) are holed. Amphipods; Opisthobranch egg strings (?Bulla); Austrocochlea; Bembicium; "Leptons"; Cladocerams (dark red); Serpulids ? under rocks; Chitons; anemones.

Felt ill so didn't go diving. Did lab work. Helped students with transect & salinity projects. Sam & Pat went out hoping to get to wreck site - too rough so they went to Coral Gardens area & dived down slope. Pat brought back a spondylid & 2 small chamids from 100' (slope of about 45° to sandy plain bottom). Sam brought back some vermetid shells from about 25' - narcotised few[?] serpulids.
