Leo,
Thanks for looking. It was supposed to be a photo expedition, but
turned out to be a general one, but of extremely good quality- the
only real let down was the photographic inputs. The Photo Pro's first
instructions to all of us was - "Now I want all of you to switch from
A mode to P mode"! (-:
After that I just ignored him and went about my business!

The other scientific, biological, historical, conservation and
ecological inputs were all from world authorities on their respective
subjects, who had been hired for the cruise.

Cheers
Jayanand
