Porpoise



Today, whilst sailing off Lundy, I saw a porpoise break the surface near our boat. It only broached the one time, but it was a wonderful moment, nevertheless.


Apparently, there have been reports of basking sharks seen off the north end of Lundy this week. I've only seen one once, from the MS Oldenburg, but it was still a very impressive sight.

There were also a number of gannets on the sea around us. Their wingspan and flying ability on ground effect, just above the waves, is fantastic.
