Now the Commercial Yachtmaster training is over Jessy starts her spring summer season of training courses, charters & day sails. This week is Competent Crew and Day Skipper. After a morning of getting to know the boat the trainees sailed her out into Bantry Bay and south to the lovely harbour of Crookhaven in time for a pint in OSullivans.
Tuesday was blue skies and a lovely breeze for a jaunt round the famous Fastnet Rock.
Wednesday now and they just saw the first Basking Shart of the season as they head for Bere Island tonight and a comfortable stay on Lawrence Cove Marina. The basking sharks started to come back to the West Coast of Ireland in large numbers a couple of years ago and we were worried that too many intersted boats men & women were going to put them off, but they return again. A wonderful sight slowly making way just below the waters surface with their big mouths wide open to catch the plankton.
