Whether you\u2019re on the shores of the St. Lawrence or sailing in its waters, there\u2019s always a chance for a surprising encounter.

In the early morning hours of Sunday, July 18, a resident of Cloridorme<\/strong> is intrigued by an animal she spots offshore. \u201cAt first I thought it was the dorsal fin of a whale, but it was more triangular in shape and there was something different about the way it moved.\u201d Surprise: it\u2019s not a whale fin, but a shark fin, more precisely that of a foraging basking shark. \u201cIt swam in circles opposite our home for a long time, and later that evening, it was visible from the Cloridorme docks,\u201d tells the Gasp\u00e9 Peninsula native.
