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!

Date: Thursday 11th June
Anchorage: Oronsay Position: 56°01’.041N, 006°13’.097W Distance travelled: 54.1NM Day started well with basking sharks. A long rolling leg followed. We were finally allowed meat for the evening meal. On the evening trip to land the team split to the far corners of the island, luckily it’s not a large one. Today’s punishment: night time anchor watch in the crow’s nest...or is it? # posted by HWDT @ 8:08 AM
