Comments
Hi All,
The weather has improved somewhat, but the whales have gone elsewhere it would seem. We have had a few sightings of other species (Sperm and Humpback
whales) but that is about all. The weather continues to abate, and is looking much better for later in the week.
At present we only have one blue whale on the acoustics plot - "Ned of the North", who we are hoping to meet after dinner this evening for coffee, a photograph and a biopsy.
All is well onboard,
Until Tomorrow,
Regards Chris, Margaret, and the VWhales Team
