Had a wedding reception for Pete and his wife, Dasha, who's been visiting out here. They got married in December, but, Midway never passes up an opportunity for a celebration. Of course, I left my camera a home, so you'll just have to believe me that a good time was had by all.
It was unbelievably windy today. Had to cancel snorkeling, but, went out and watched the Laysans soaring around. Being strong gliders, they love a good wind. The Petrels tonight literally did create a cloud as they flew in. Not sure if it was because of the wind or just where I was standing Have a couple of pictures of the Laysans, but this thing doesn't seem to want to post them tonight. Couldn't possibly be operator error.....Ah, there we go......
Here's one of some of the turtles. They haul up in many places, but especially like "Turtle Beach." I counted 34 there the other day.
And lastly, for tonight, this is the first thing you would see if we landed planes in the daylight. The building is mostly abandoned, but we still use it as the boarding area. The new air-ops center doesn't have a passenger area.
Love y'all,
Murray

Yikers, that's a LOT of birds!!!!!!
What kind of turtles are they? Do they nest there? How many visitors do you get, and where are they from? We need INFO, man!
Thanks for the photos - it really helps thems of us far away who'll never get there to see what's really going on! Glad you're having fun too!
Things are starting to bloom here - but snow on the valley cliffs late yesterday, and supposed to be 27 degrees tonight. No apricots THIS year - thank goodness!
More, more, more, more! (please?!)
