Shark Details
Shark vey low in the water and seemed quite small, 6-8 feet, dorsal fin only breaking the water by a few inches. Very dark in colour swimming very slowly North. Note from Jackie Hall: Excellent! This is the first basking shark sighting for a month. Keep a sharp look out everyone, maybe more to follow!
