              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
The night started out with high winds, gusting to about 37 mph. With our 25 mph wind restriction, we were not able to open until shortly before midnight. We were able to get BY01 a few min on sky, and boy it was a race! Winds gusted back up again while I was chaning instruments and we stayed closed for nearly two hours. However, things finally calmed down and we had good seeing and clear skies for the rest of the night.
No problems tonight.
