Sharks in the Irish Sea?
Calf of Man, Circumnavigation of Ireland
We were greeted by an unusual welcoming committee as we sailed toward the Calf of Man this morning: sharks! About a dozen basking sharks, a couple up to 30 feet long, surrounded the ship as they fed on the surface plankton and everyone rushed to get their cameras. Some of us took Zodiacs out to see them at close range… where one Zodiac had stopped, a shark swam right beneath it and surfaced at the bow for the perfect cameo close-up!
