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!

Tuesday 11th April 2006 Anchorage: Tobermory Position: 56°37.200 N 006°03.700 W Distance surveyed: 31nmi That it, all the fantastic, highly motivate first volunteers of the year have left the boat. This last day was much better than expected, just one shower during the morning and after sunny with a sea relatively calm (max sea state 3.5) and we saw (finally!) at the last moment one porpoise for the pleasure of all. The last hour on the boat was just to enjoy the splendid scenery of the Sound of Mull under the sun, take the last picture of the week. Back to the harbour, typical English lunch with baked beans (mmmmm lovely!!!!) and pasta for me poor French people…., boat cleaning, last party of jungle speed and it was already the time for the bus. A huge thanks from the crew to this exceptional team, you have been very very good!!!! Marjolaine, Dave and Rob # posted by HWDT @ 9:12 AM
