Swiftlets (a few seen). Wandered into town, packed odds and 
ends for Birnie I. Wrote up notes and reoports in evening. 
Visited Goat Island Club and Island Moon Bar with rest 
of party. Had a short row with one of the chiefs concernin g 
who could wear his hat. The locals were quite anti-navy 
so there was never much danger of our getting overrun. 
v 
Shore patrol moved everone out shortly afterwards anyway. 
Left harbor at SAM headed for Birnie Island. Birds much 
the same as when we came in except for a flock of 25-30 
Blue-gray noddies. Sea quite rough hit calmer parts by 
supper time. Tired and bored. Everyone will be glad 
to finish vdth this cruise.
