What a day to go to sea…! The swells were up so we took up point in Shark Alley for this afternoon’s trip, however on the way there we came across a group of well over a hundred bottlenose dolphin right next to Dyer Island. Once on anchor it wasn’t long before the first sharks came to check us out. Massive great whites some well over 4 and likely 4.5m in length! Some seemed more interested in the seals than us, swimming through our chum line and right up to the seals at Geyer Rock just meters from us – it was like a Nat Geo documentary right in front of our eyes. Not so many of the celebrity sharks from the trips 2 days ago but we did have our first sighting of ‘Besom’ in Gansbaai, we tagged her in September 2010 and she was in False Bay last year. The tag has since shed but it’s tether is visible and she is recognisable by a pigmentation or ‘rosie’ on both sides of her fin – and the fact she’s massive! We got into double figures and then some, Shark Alley was magic this afternoon. On the way home we found the dolphins again who seemed to be enjoying the surf.
