On February 14 , 2002, we did a live webcast for Keith Mitchell of ALI ( Apple learning Interchange) in his presentation at QuickTime Live in Hollywood California. This was the first time we tried out the new webcasting software “LiveChannel” from our new partners Channel Storm.

The Race Rocks group setting up before the big day! Monica and Nigel peer intently into the eye of one of the cameras and Garry tests out the underwater cam before the dive, looking a bit like Roger Rabbit in the process.

- Monica and Kiprop give two big thumbs up.

- On the bottom of the picture, you can see the divers about to go under with the underwater cam. In the bottom right corner, you can see the camera cable, which is attached to one of the computers.

- Yes! Valentine’s Day on the island, and the webcams are working…long-distance relationships, anyone?

- Note from John Ford “that’s T14, a relatively distinctive male thanks to old scars at the base of the fin on the leading edge. These scars are from a VHF tracking transmitter that was attached to his fin during a temporary capture in 1976.

- We spotted an Orca on our way back to Pearson College from Race Rocks. An exciting end to an exciting day.
