I'll bet they are :-)

Tell me, have you seen one from a kayak?  Would impress me a lot to
be paddling in my sea lion and see a shark almost twice as long as my
kayak swim by....

btw, for those that don't know, basking sharks are harmless to humans.  Just 
very big.  It is the second of all largest fish, the whale shark being
the first at about 40 feet in length (also harmless).

Cheers,

Jackie
