Launching from Dartmouth over the weekend, Bertie and a few friends encountered a friendly young seal.

Sheltering behind a rock as a squall came through, we noticed this seal watching us. As the squall kept us there for some time, the seal became more and more inquisitive. Firstly, the seal started to sniff our boats, trying to get at the toggles. Then deciding we were friendly, the young seal decided to get more friendly, eventually trying to get on to our kayaks.
