Is it unusual to encounter (Common?) seals in the Solent?. We came across this one while paddling into the Beaulieu river. She wasn't overly bothered by the presence of 20 inquisitive kayakers!
There's no water locally and still no rain forecast - the white water season seems to have dried up, the third trip cancelled. It's back to the sea kayak this weekend I guess.
Still I have a few river trips to foreign parts to look forward to :-)
