I went on a pelagic trip today aboard Sapphire. We went about 5 or 6 miles South of St Mary’s. It was quite slow going most of the day as it was quite calm with very little wind. We did have a few sightings of Storm Petrels whilst drifting here. Lines were put out to try and catch some Blue Shark but were unsuccessful. Later we went to the Poll Bank where there was a fleeting sighting of a Minke Whale and some Common Dolphin. We then headed back to St Mary’s via the Western Rocks. We also saw one Manx Shearwater, one Arctic Skua, one Bonxie, a couple of Squid and a Snipe that tried to land on the boat.
