Monday 23rd June

We saw several grey seals hauled out on the rocks during the morning Ocean Discovery trip, including males, females and juveniles. Sailing westwards, we picked up a few shearwaters, gannets and guillemots but on the whole it was quieter offshore so we decided to go a different direction on the afternoon tour. The brisk north west wind gave us some exciting sailing conditions and we sailed a long way south where there was lots more birdlife and with a group raft of shearwaters, we found a small pod of common dolphins briefly. They moved so fast they were hard to photograph! We also saw a few grey seals in the water.
