and a bloody Big one too!! The most Extraordinary experience we’ve ever had, whilst cruising up the Fal River in the inflatable when a Ruddy great Grey Seal decided to pop up alongside the boat, scare itself and us half to death and leapt clean out of the water onto Leanne’s lap..drowned me and the camera with its flippers in the process (Thank God for Pro Sealed Bodies ) and leapt back into the water only to jump out again for a second go before swimming off down river to its waiting Mate… we didn’t hang around.. we chased the bugger to get its picture as the camera was still working… Just!!

The oily Bugger

Sammy the Lap dancing Seal

Laid back taking a rest between performances

I think we probably worried him more than a little by chasing after him, as we got closer he dived and we lost sight of him again.
Feeling rather soggy from the wave thrown over me from the Seals flippers, I turned the boat and headed back up the river towards Malpas.. Leanne was still quite dazed and stunned about what had just happened and just kept on saying she couldn’t believe what had just happened..
