Hurrican IVAN mkes an appearance

At 3am it sounded as though a freight train was passing by!

Our planned 7am observation session was cancelled due to zero u/w visibility and a 'ripping' current. The waves were rolling and breaking on the reef and around us. The dolphins seemed okay but we focused our afternoon on video ID. We needed to add Fiona (Alita's calf from last October) and Carmella and Ritchie to our list.
The day was leisurely and we spent time marveling at the seas. We did have a sunset and, surprisingly, little rain. The wind died a bit in the afternoon and the 'freight train' has left the station. We should be able to make observations tomorrow.
Till then,
Kathleen
