                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st half Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
 Clear and very windy at sunset. Again Apollo got returns through high
 winds and poor seeing. High gust over the limit a few times around 19:30.
 Continued high winds all first half, dying down some after 21:00 when warm
 dry air blew in. Variable seeing.
 2nd half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Second half continued clear with bad to awful seeing.  The DIS
 slitviewer shutter refused to open on nearly 50% of exposures when
 we started, but once it warmed up it was fine.  Everything else
 worked well.
