Eastern Island
Today, Wednesday, we worked on Eastern again. The counts continue to be low on much of the island. Near the shoreline there are new arroyos that in some areas are cut down 5 or 6 feet. They are the channels that were carved by the water leaving the island after the March 2010 tsunami. It is impressive to see how much sand and coral were moved as the water ran back to the sea. We have had beautiful shirtsleeve weather but it sounds like that may change soon. There is rain and wind forecast for later in the week.

Hi Gary, I am enjoying your blog. It is interesting to see how the count will come out after the flooding and destruction of last spring. Warm weather there sounds nice. Are you planning to swim in the water with those rays? I don't recall that they are harmful to people, but anything that size would seem to be pretty nerve-wracking to swim next to. Later, JV
