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: Friday 12th June
Anchorage: Loch Indaal (Islay) Position: 55°45’.688N, 006°17’.598W Distance travelled: 51.5NM Day 3: the sightings of the day were just a few seals and a minke whale. Probably we were all too busy counting boats and birds. Who can tell the difference between a lesser black-backed gull and a kittiwake... We then had a hard time fighting our way against the tide, but finally reached Bowmore. And yes, we were allowed a wee dram! Things are getting better every day.
