...and now for something completely different 'pilot_cool'...Just noticed various articles on Irish Whale and Dolphin Group website referencing collaboration with the Maritime Squadron.

Thanks Fouga, been around a while (so long I even forgot my original account name!) but don't find things to post very often.

P.Doff, be sure to set Padraig (or whoever) from IWDG straight the next time they are onboard - no offence intended I am sure

Hi clog,
         Its great when we see Dolphins and whales. The recent weather although wet, is reasonably calm at sea with some days completly flat calm and the surface like glass. This affords us better chances of sighting whales and the like.Ive seen other creatures like a giant turtle and a giant jellyfish also! Actually, the day I got those Whales we came across a huge water spout(Tornado) sucking the water up to about 1000ft, talk about flying fish! It seems that that group of Whales and Dolphins are hanging around a bit as theyve been spotted at least once maybe twice since.
        With regards to photographing stuff on patrols its amazing what you get to see in the Atlantic. Ive photographed a fridge freezer bobbing around 200 miles of Donegal recently(probably full of Donegal Catch! 'pilot_laugh' ).
Its vital to keep tabs on this sort of stuff as its a danger to shipping. Can you imagine a small yacht hitting an industrial size fridge, ouch!
