^ear Mae D s terline, 
I was not aware that the museum did not have my field notes 
or the weather date for the November I 96 I 4 Cruise of the Charles H. Gilbert. 
Regarding my field notes which I have at hand at the moment, I assumed they 
had been ^roxed along with all the other field notes . There was no 
official report on the trip because we were never out of sight of land. 
We did not stop at any port during the trip. 
I don f t know anything about the weather data since we didn't keep any 
on either of the Gilbert trips. 
I have filled in the map as you requested and will add here some of ithe 
particulars. 
Stopped off the southwest coast of Oahu on 10 Nov. in the lee 
of the island for the night. 
Moved to the northwest coast on the 11th of Nov. then across 
the channel to east shore of Kauai (crew wanted to be close 
enough to the island to get T. V. reception.) 
Traversed along the north coast of Kauai in 12th then into the 
channel between Kauai and Niihau and back to a position just 
of the southwest coast of Kauai for quiet lee waters and good 
T. V. again. 
On the 13th we ran south of Niihau to Kaula Hock and Island the 
same place then back along the north side of Niihau and were 
at the northeas t end of it by sunset. 
Sunrise of the lliirh found us of the Northwest coast of Oahu* 
Spent entire day on the North side and were offMoku Manu 
at sunset . 
On the 15th we were in the channel between Molokai and Oahu 
in an area called Penguin bank. 
Hard winds had blown since the 20th of October but finally stopped on 
the lbth of November. 
I hape this information will be helpful to you.
