Seal and Old Gaffers

The Old Gaffers, a type of sailing boat, had been visiting Plymouth this week and were due to leave together on Sunday morning.  It was a grey day and not very warm but I hoped it would be an interesting display so I went up to the Hoe to watch.  I decided that the footpath called Rusty Anchor would be the best vantage point so after a walk around the seafront I sat there to wait for the boats, while drinking my coffee.  As I waited I noticed a couple of other photographers were focusing their cameras on the sea.  When I looked I saw there was a seal bobbing around by the rocks.

When the Old Gaffers came out of the Tamar they gathered together before sailing across the Sound and then out to sea.
