25 December. Cetaceanlab reports:

We would like to wish you all a peaceful and loving Christmas from Gil Island and share with you a beautiful acoustic surprise which happened at just passed 6am this morning.

We were just getting up to start a fire in our stove and make fresh morning coffee, as we started to hear faint A1 calls on our "Home" station. It turns out that we are listening to the A12s. It is still dark outside, so we really don't know exactly where they are.

It is however a wonderful start to this special day and hopefully the A12 stay around for a little while today.
