Unfortunately, today was one of those days when we were reminded that not every trip is a success. As a team, we do our very best. Our spotter remained fully focused from start to finish, his eyes fixed on the sea. The team on the boat naturally provided support and also scanned the sea’s surface. But, as mentioned in our introduction, nature cannot be controlled. Animals have to be there to be found. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case this evening.
