Comments
We got away from port around 0900 this morning and started heading towards the shelf-break south of Portland with the hope of trialling the sonobuoys in deeper waters. No sightings yet, bar a 'supergroup' of common dolphins, with a few bottle nose dolphins tagging along, just before lunch. Only one minor case of seasickness (no prizes for guessing who). The weather forecast is for low winds and swell over the next few days. Feels good to be out on the water again.
REGARDS: Natalie and Dave
