The National Seal Sanctuary is looking for real life, true stories and may require witness testimony or some other form of proof before making an award. The Seal Sanctuary's Rachel Vine says: "The best tale we have in will be judged against the winning stories submitted to nine other UK Sea Life attractions for a special national award of 拢500. A similar competition was organised over a decade ago, and some of the stories it generated were amazing. The tale of the Peregrine FalconThe winner back then was a fisherman鈥檚 account of an exhausted migrant peregrine falcon lost in a fog-bound North Sea. Rachel Vine says: "It spotted our fisherman鈥檚 white vest and in desperation, used his chest as a perch, knocking him to the deck in the process."  The tale of Peregrine Falcon lost at sea Other accounts included one of an encounter with a large stag swimming far out at sea, and one grisly tale of an angry wolf-fish biting right through a thick Wellington boot and almost removing a big toe. "We鈥檙e hoping to hear about any out of the ordinary events that may have befallen fishermen out at sea," said Rachael. The closing date for entries is Monday, Monday 31 2008 and there are free Sanctuary tickets for the best 12 runner-up entries. The competition is open to deep sea anglers as well as professional fishermen and if there are enough interesting stories throughout the UK there may even be a book produced.
