A basking shark was feeding off the shore at Torrisdale and a couple in a sailing craft had decided to investigate.You can see from the pics that they got right up beside this quite large planckton eating mammal of the sea.Quite a few sightings of the basking have been seen recently,the calm and warmer weather being in their favour.
So for the couple aboard the sailer on the 7 July I think you may have some excellant photo's of this sighting,send one on if you read this please.
