Blakeney Point and Morston.................................. a boat trip to see the seals

A few years ago I had a short break in Norfolk and stayed for a few nights in Blakeney.

Arriving in Blakeney I had seen signs advertising boat trips to Blakeney Point to view the seal colony.
 I would make the trip the following morning.

The tide was out as I purchased my ticket so I asked where and when I would sail from only to be told I would have to travel to Morston for my trip... a 20 minute walk along the coast from Blakeney.

 I was a bit put out to say the least as there was no mention of Morston until I had handed over my money... at least the walk was a along a pleasant coastal footpath and in fine weather.

As I approached Morston it didn't look much better than Blakeney with the tide still out and boats high and dry on the mud.

I soon found the vessel I was to travel on and by the time all the other trippers had boarded the tide was coming in and we soon set sail.

As we passed the old lifeboat station (now a visitor centre) on Blakeney Point the sea spray meant I couldn't use my camera as much as I wanted but the waves had calmed as we reached the sandbanks and the seals.

 The seal colony at Blakeney is made up of both Common and Grey seals...and we got really close to them.
Some of my images of the seals are here: The seals at Blakeney Point
