Weather: The wind was brisk and from the NE at Pt. Pinos at dawn, dropping off somewhat over the course of the day. It was clear, visibility was quite good, and the swell was moderate. At the outer buoy, it was blowing NNE 13.6 at dawn; it switched to W, 8 knots, at 1300, and continue to come from the west until sunset. Pressure at sunrise was 30.20 and remained fairly even; at sunset it was 30.17. Birds: NE winds are not good for Seawatch (nor for human comfort at Seawatch!)
