John is on his way to Argentina to particpate in his 19th annual aerial survey of the endangered southern right whales that gather each year in the waters near Peninsula Valdes to mate and give birth to their calves

John Writes-
john atkinson here from the ocean alliance. i sure owe you an apology because i said i would write you a note and so far i have not. things have been a bit busy.
two things. odyssey is now in the gulf and work is coming along well. we have sperm whale cells growing in our onboard lab and that is itself is amazing. the boat has web reports they post on a regular basis and the best thing is for me to direct you to them.
