2:00 PM Indian Ocean

Quick Repost of the Minke Whale Pictures

Laura Morse, one of our two Marine Mammal Observers took these awesome pictures of the Minke Whales directly along our ship.

Here our team attaches the pinger after a wave came in. We were all soaked, but we finished the work and sent the dredge on out!

Great day. Lots of excitement
