Return to the work studying dolphins

Hello all. I'm so glad to finally have some time to do an update. 

So where to start? The past six weeks have been filled with so many work it will be hard to get them all down. However, I'll start with a little about the transformation of the Spartana from a wood yatch to a fantastic marine research vessel. We have changed and or painted the old wood by new one. We have installed a new sonar, we have installed a solar pannel to use the computer onboard,
new headphones, and now we are installing the new underwater camera!!
Evidently cleaning and working with the screwdriver were common activities... 

Last week we have re-started with the field observations, three days and two days with sightings, not bad. There was an student and we also have two interns from the USA.

I just realized that I don't have the Spartana pictures in this computer so I will not be able to add pictures now. Anyway, here you are a picture of a dolphin. If I can upload some pictures of the Spartana this week, I will come back and add some pictures.

Regards,

New sightings
