On board Silurian
Most weeks April through October she is either monitoring the waters of the west coast of Scotland for whales, dolphins, and porpoises, or serving as a floating classroom for one of the many Argyll island primary and secondary schools. Read the log below to find out what Silurian and her crew have been up to each week and all about the whales, dolphins and porpoises they spot!

Friday 7th of April 2006 Anchorage: Port Ellen Position: 55°37.6N 6°11.3W Distance surveyed: 39 nmi Day three, unfortunately no improvements on the weather, lots of hail and rain were the highlight of today’s adventure. We were beaten black and blue. No better on the sightings front, not a sausage!! It was a lot colder today but we were warmed up by Dave’s daily bacon and egg butties. So no sightings and lots of wind and rain but a fantastic meal of bangers and mash by Kim, Rob and Andy followed by flambéed bananas and chocolate by Marjolaine. A great end to the day. Hopefully we’ll have a better day tomorrow but judging by the forecast it’ll be just as rough and bouncy. Esther, Clare and Sam Silurian Log Archives
