Thank you to Dr. John Hughes Clarke who sponsored a retreat for the office staff this summer and Dr. Peter Dare who escorted Kim, Tracey, Sylvia, and Sheri to St. Andrews for some whale watching on 25 August. We started our day with a lovely breakfast in a little café then on to the Cory to see some whales. On the way out, we saw seals basking on the rocks. While sailing, we saw a Finback whale and baby swimming then feeding, and on the way back in we saw a Minke whale. The day ended with a lobster dinner at a little restaurant on Main Street.
