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!

After Bowmore Primary P1’s came aboard, it was the turn of the Home School from Port Charlotte.
“My best bit was looking at the lobster, picking up the Velvet Crab and learning to tie two new knots,” Michael aged 8. “Nice people, very friendly! It was excellent because they had an octopus and it was the first time I saw one. I also held a big lobster. I’ve had a whale of a time – thank you!” Morwenna aged 10. “I enjoyed it very much because the animals were very interesting but my favourite thing was the octopus,” Corrie aged 11. “I liked looking at the Lesser Octopus, it was cool trying to make it change colour,” Megan aged 12. Tonight is an Open Boat on Silurian and so HWDT is inviting interested members of the local community aboard to have a look around and chat with staff. # posted by HWDT @ 9:24 AM
