Whalewatch Explorer - 24th August 2013

Flat calm seas today and lots of fantastic sightings. We saw around 10 basking sharks feeding at the surface and also saw one breach. A few passengers saw a huge splash and alerted the rest of us so we had time to look in the right direction to observe the shark leap clear of the water for a second time - wow! Also a minke whale feeding along a strong tide line, harbour porpoise, common & grey seals, white-tailed & distant views of golden eagle, puffin, storm petrel, great & Arctic skua… what a 7 hours!
