Bit late with the Cefas news!

Cefas Endeavour is now on the 12th day of her two week June 2012 survey off the souht coats of England. Day one of the trip was recorded on the Cefas blog and clicking on each of the subsequent days on the calendar section will reveal how the boat fared in the less than pleasant weather that hit home waters at the end of last week and over the weekend.

At the same time as the Cefas survey, the RRS James Cook is in the middle of her current survey off the west coast of Scotland - including a cruise past the legendary, and according to some, most isolated rock in the world - Rockall.....

and for those familair with this part of the planet, a rather typical view of the rock shrouded in mist!
