Intermediate Basking Sharks!!

We had a great day out on the water today on the second day of a five day intermediate course. After loading up the van we headed for Sennen Cove. From there we headed out to lands end where we had the real treat of seeing 5 or 6 basking sharks.

We even had one jump clean out of the water! I had never seen one do that before and it gave us all a bit of a fright!

Intermediate 5 Day course

During last week we ran one of our 5 day intermediate courses. We had a real variety of weather and managed to cover alot over the course. I think Sean and Kate will agree that it was quite the intesive course. Here are a few photos to give you a small flavour of the week. Sean flew over from Dublin and Kate came down from near Plymouth where she runs Canoe Tamar.

Intermediate 5 day course

Over the last 5 days we have been running our intermediate course. The weather has been incredibly changeable with winds from force 9-3. During the week we were able to explore the area around falmouth and the Lizard. Mike and Hugh were on the course and were great to have out on the water. I have put on just a few photos from the week to give you a taste of what the intermediate course is like.
