restart activities, with the touristic operators , especially on Humpback
whales from July to October
I spoke with Dr Vic Cockcroft from CSS
WHALE south Africa for the opportunity to have the support of a sail boat
during the migrating season to develop our action and to have an operation base
Vic told me that you posted a message on
such on opportunity saying that a sail boat owner was available for a research
and monitoring program on marine mammals in the Indian ocean

this message and I had and Hard Disk crash
Would it be possible to send this message
to us if possible
