Dylan, Ian and . . . Germaine Greer!

There was an unexpected sighting for our 90 ‘Brittany Ferries Big Whale’ -watchers . . . author, critic, and celebrity Germaine Greer. Ms. Greer noticed us shouting and celebrating and decided to join in (frankly blagging a free place but it was good to have her with us!) and within a few minutes she was running from port to starboard with the rest of us! Germaine Greer is less well known as a supporter of wildlife, and yet she has her own native forest reserve back home in Australia and is President of the British charity Buglife. "I try to champion the cause of the invertebrates," she said. "If it were not for them, there would be no whales, no fish, in fact hardly any other life in our oceans. They need as much protection as charismatic species like whales."
