Basking Shark in Torbay
Saw my first real live Basking Shark yesterday just off Berry Head while out on the boat. Had no camera with me  but fantastic to see  . Was as big as my boat  and kind of put the divers off going for their second dive

The more important thing Tue - is why did'nt you catch the wrerched thing??
- the dorsel is a delecacy as regards soup
- the hide would be great for watch straps
- the pancreas could be used to make some medicines
- the liver is also a much sort after herbal remedy for arthitus
