Update
And so it remained until now — no sightings. Last year no whales were seen until mid-July but after that there were several hundred sightings so all is not lost.
I have to vacate Ard’s sole internet computer quickly, I’m not the only user. Some other German wants on-line, so this has got to be quick. No time for stories.
I can’t say that I am not stressed. The wind is wearing us down and chills us to the bone. The software we use, a beta version of CYCLOPES, is full of quirks and designed for real time data entry which makes entry from the forms difficult. Entry from forms is necessary because the labtop is not practical in the field and has a battery life of 1h (we watch for 10h each day).
There are problems. But there are also solutions. We are acclimatising. I feel less tired. The whales will come.
So long.
