 I’ve recently been in email contact with the Oceania guys and they’re having an amazing season of data collection, and general awe and wonderment. Such a shame that with Humpbacks back on the menu, that there may be a few less jumping about in the bay next year. After dinner, we're all a bit exhausted from the day’s activities so we sat around in the cabin and listened to a prepared talk by Wally, or we watched a video documentary with a theme applicable to our mission. I was sleeping out doors in a swag rolled out on the bow of the boat. The dew was really heavy and the water ran off the oiled canvas of the swag in rivulets when I crawled out of my sleeping bag in the morning. The whole bay was filled with mist on the last day, and this is some video I took, which features a ‘whitebow’ (a white rainbow.) Click here to visit the web site of the expedition researchers...

  2. I looked for the "white rainbow." Where is it minutes-wise? I can listen to the sound of ocean water all day.

    Looks like the video compression has wiped allot of it out.
