The warm weather is proving to be good for more than just the TT - it also seems to suit our basking sharks!
One of the gentle giants was spotted no more than 30 feet from the shoreline on the west of the Island last night (Tues)
It was spotted by Beach Buddies organiser Bill Dale at the Lhen.
Bill says he's been watching the sharks for years - but he's never seen one this close in . .
