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!

Anchorage: Bunessan Position: 56° 19’.600N 006° 15’.200W Distance Travelled: 45 NM Day two, the adventure continues….. Weather couldn’t be better – the water at times took on an ethereal glass like appearance, with the sun dancing on it, very inviting! Therefore a trip up to the crow’s nest was called for, and it was worth the climb – even had the captain make and bring up soup while I drank in the view. Breathtaking! Lots of seals popped up and some porpoises gave us a nod as well. Great nosh was had with a mid afternoon cream tea complete with raised pinkies, before dropping anchor in Mull for a quick pint and the gathering of mushrooms and blackberries. Everyone returned back to Silurian fresh eyed and rosy cheeked to enjoy Elizabeth’s chilli and tatties. Spirits are high, bellies are full. Ellie # posted by HWDT @ 1:39 PM
