SNEAK PREVIEW: SUMMER 2018!!!
***We did not approach the seals – they approached us. We just snorkelled around on the surface and watched from a distance (unless they came up to us!) We made sure we were calm and moved carefully so we didn’t disturb them – we also made sure that we didn’t get too close to the ones digesting their food on the rocks. Before we went swimming we did a lot of research on what to do and what not to do and took lead from the boat that runs snorkelling trips on a daily basis out to these islands.***

Dave and I were lucky enough to get calm enough weather to anchor in a little bay off Great Ganilly in the Eastern Isles of Scilly and be surrounded by grey seals! We thought it would be rude not to jump in and go for a snorkel to see what we could see.
Our minds were blown! They were so graceful and inquisitive under water. A couple got incredibly close and one even came right up for a good sniff and a nudge! At the time, I barely caught a glimpse of the seal as it kept swimming behind and underneath me but I felt it there and couldn’t believe my eyes when I watched the footage back!
It was truly a once in a lifetime experience and I literally couldn’t hold in my excitement after it swam away (listen closely towards the end! XD)
