Basking shark sighted today to close for comfort !
Whilst positioning the boat for fishing south of Port Logan, ( Clanyard ) some 30 mtrs off the cliffs in 45' of water, we nearly got rammed off a basking shark ( size from dorsal to tail fin approx 10' ) did not see head, as it saw use and did a speedy dive. Have short video via phone but language is a bit choice, as my collegue nearly papped himself.
