In Search of Scottish Baskers

Hi Wetpixellers,

Thought you might like to see a short video trip report I've pulled together from last year's visit to the Inner Hebrides with Alex Mustard.

Hope you enjoy,

Lovely video Jo. Reminds me of a great month I spent hunting for minke whales around Mull many years ago. Looks like you had a wonderful time.

Exceptionally well put together Jo! The narration is wonderful. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Cheers,

Steve

Hi Jo

Hey I know that place!!

Lovely film and it made me want to jump into my truck and head back there right now while I was watching it (then I realised it was still February Doh!). Really well done!!

Cheers, Simon

Thanks for sharing Jo. I'm taking a trip to Lochalaine (Sound of Mull) in August this year and diving from 5th to 10th. Anyone fancy joining me?

Yeah, had a brilliant time and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.

No probs Tim.

I need more holiday!!!!

Most enjoyable, looks like everyone had a wonderful time. And, oh, those basking sharks. Between you and Simon, I don't know who to be most jealous of.

Hi Steve,

You'll need to get yourself over here and try it for yourself!! There's always that nagging doubt in the back of your mind, you line yourself up with a fin above the waves, then hope that the right type of shark appears out of the gloom!!!

Yes couldn't agree more! Most people don't realise just how closely related Baskers are to White sharks and just how much they actually look like them when they have their mouth closed. Even though you know it is a little old 'harmless' Basker your brain is still calculating the odds....

Not a problem Simon, I'll just fin behind you should it be a white.
