Thank you all so very much for the trip of a lifetime. I had been dreaming of being able to join the Searcher on one of the whale-watching trips since we first found out about it, 9 or 10 years ago. When you build up something for such a long time, there is danger that it doesn’t meet up to hopes and expectations. Yet this trip, together with the fantastic crew, the amazing food, wealth of knowledge, organization and care taken over the whole experience was beyond anything we could ever hope for. Everyone worked so hard at everything and I don’t know how they were able to spot animals at such a distance. It was a privilege to be able to be on the same boat as all of them.
