Notes

Trouble getting hach machine to stabilise I think the fast flow and the turbity/freshwater flow had some effect too great for machine to cope with. Hence the lack of complete data in above form.

Strong west south west wind, mangroves inundated, very muddy, no bites for fishermen, but plenty of salmon yesterday!
