Day 8

Our last full day today - and our last boat trip. The sea was a bit rough today, so it was a bit harder to keep track of where the dolphins were, but we still had a great sighting - although Joan couldn't repeat yesterday's success with the skin sampling.

Claire was very pleased with the success of her air conditioning unit - our room was much cooler last night! In fact, it worked so well that the rest of the house and indeed the rest of Vonitsa were also much cooler!

After our last session of photo ID (grouping and initial matching from Day 6 - several hundred photos! - we managed to match 11 dolphins against the catalogue) Joan gave a brief presentation about the data collected this team - using the software to show where we went, where we saw dolphins etc. We then had our last dinner of the trip - Joan and Eli's turn to cook.

Hey, I got stupid and posted in June instead of now.I enjoyed reading your daily adventures. I sure am envious. I am retired now and doing pottery. I still remember fondly the 120 degree heat, tarantulas, sting rays, and rattlesnakes of Baja!
