On board Silurian

Sunday 29th April to Saturday 5th May 2007

This week Silurian visited Coll and Tiree for school visits. On Monday and Tuesday the education team worked with Arinagour Primary School on Coll. This included all 19 students who came aboard the boat for marine workshops. The team were assisted by skipper Glen Murray, first mate Mat, Director Sir Maxwell Macleod and David. Wednesday and Thursday saw about 40 students from Tiree Primary aboard for more action packed sessions. Finally, on Friday, Tiree High Schools S2 students completed the final workshop of the week. Travelling home we were lucky to watch a minke whale feeding between Ardnamurchan lighthouse and Mull. What a great end to a very successful week. Thanks to everyone on board for their help and the fantastic students from Coll and Tiree who participated. The education team.
