Monday 8th June

The first trip we had this morning was with some students from Newquay College. They came out to learn about data collection techniques, and hopefully to have a good sail and find some wildlife, and got all of those things. A brisk westerly wind meant great sailing conditions, and we found a very cool ocean sunfish who was exhibiting some really interesting behaviours. We also had great views of loads of Manx shearwaters soaring on the breeze and spotted a sleeping seal.

This afternoon the wind had increased further meaning we headed westwards to Porthcurno before sailing back with the wind and swell behind us. The coastline was looking stunning in the strong June sunlight. At the furthest point out (and in the choppiest sea!) we found some common dolphins. A few of them stayed with us for a long time as we sailed, darting in and out and really enjoying the twin hulls of the catamaran.
