After a successful four days of sampling, we are heading back to Killybegs.  We have calm seas and light winds for our steam back.  The sun was shining this morning but now the fog has once again rolled in.  As we were steaming this morning, a large sperm whale cruised by close to the ship.  The size and grace of these animals never cease to amaze me.
