On Wednesday we put in at the Sound, right on the South tip of the Isle of Man, well known for its tidal currents and overfalls, and associated conditions..
The area around the 'Sound', Kitterland and the whole Calf of Man is home to a large seal population, with various colonies and charismatic individuals : )
When not sitting in the eddy with juvenile seals nibbling the kayak toggles or nuzzling the deck, the overfall nearby provided some excitement and occasional airborne experience!
As its also pupping time, we had to keep a sharp look out for fluffy white bundles on beaches, before landing on them for lunch or a break. I've observed 3 pups probably less than a week old, and i'm sure there are others well hidden from view.
And of course its always nice to finish on a high!
