While  waiting for Daisy I fairly frequently see 2 to 3 foot boils from  
Splendid...


 
Yes, but... are these from Splendid's main vent or from the vent we call  the 
"side boiler"? My money is that Carolyn is seeing the side boiler,  which is 
"always" active. When viewed from the north side, it is somewhat  closer to 
the boardwalk than is the main vent. Telling the difference between  main and 
side can be difficult. The significant thing about my report is  that it was 
main vent that was seen (side boiler, too), and certainly no  eruptive activity 
by Splendid is possible without action in main  vent.
