Sunday 18th August

We had a couple of awesome trips today. The morning Discovery Voyage passengers saw lots and lots of porpoises again, as well as grey seals and a couple of groups of common dolphins. Conditions were sunnier in the morning, and it clouded over and the wind built for the afternoon. After watching the seals bobbing around we headed to where there were lots of gannets feeding, and found a small group of common dolphins who caused much excitement on board in the choppy conditions. We then sailed southwards and were lucky enough to get great views of a minke whale as it surfaced repeatedly round the boat. We heard the great whoosh as it blew. The sailing back inshore we found ourselves surrounded again by countless harbour porpoises. They seen very determined at the moment to do the exact opposite of what it says their behaviour is in the books!

Tomorrow’s trips are sadly cancelled because of the strong wind forecast, and the week looks windy as a whole. If you are booked on, please keep an eye on your emails and text messages.
