Biscay update.

There are Large numbers of Fin Whales in the Bay, 30 animals seen on wednesday!  first time for a few years, and many Dolphins!
But the really exciting news is that a Blue Whale was seen and photographed very close to our Ferry on Wednesday, it also dived showing its tail flukes!!  Looking good for when we go. We just need a nice calm crossing!

Forgot to mention to you last week Cliff, you were voted as the `Coffee Boy` A huge responsibility, helping us to stay awake to find you all the best Cetaceans and to get you in the right position to photograph them!!
You will be required to fetch all drinks and baggettes during the crossing!
We wont except any moans from you as Jeff has been voted as `Bar Boy` I can`t see him complaining!

Remember Myself, Randal and Slap have spent hours and hours organizing this trip! other persons to be chosen such as `Meal and Cutlery Boy` have yet to be decided!
