The "Pacific Grace" ship came in today. It's a very nice boat. It is a group called SALTS, the Sail and Life Training Society. It is mostly high school age kids who are learning to sail. They are here to get fuel, and some other supplies and I think will leave on Sat.
We spent most of the day today hand pulling the verbesina by the cable houses. Tomorrow we are going back to Eastern Island to pull some more verbesina near the duck seep there. I don't have any pictures for you today because I'm having issues with my hard drive. I'll try to get it going by tomorrow.
About Me
- Pete Leary
- After high school I went into the Navy doing nuclear power stuff on a submarine. After 6 years, I left the Navy then got my biology degree from Montana State Univ. I then worked for the USDA doing human nutrition research for 8 years. I also got my Master's Degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of North Dakota. While doing that I worked for Mr. Ellie Pooh selling elephant dung paper (google it) to help the Sri Lanka elephants. After that, I did the only logical thing with my MS and moved to Cleveland, OH and got a job in security at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It was great, for a while, but I found a 1 year temporary job at Midway Atoll with the US Fish & Wildlife Service. I loved it so much that I moved to an even smaller island with only 4-15 people (Tern Island). After being the Asst Manager, then the Manager, I got the chance to go back to Midway as the Wildlife Biologist for a few more years. Just so you know, I didn't write this as an employee, I just commented about my days here and put up some photos, so these aren't the views of the FWS. I still do ocean work for the FWS, but I do it from the Headquarters office in the Washington D.C. area.
