We launched bright and early this morning, more so early and not so bright as we had some early morning rain just as we were about to leave Marine Dynamics headquaters at the Great White House. The rain eased as Slashfin made its’ way into the Shallows and we were happy to have a clear and bright sky for the rest of the day. Our guests this morning had to practice such patience, something we are forever grateful for, as we tried three different anchor spots, however a White shark would not approach the boat. We did see the Copper sharks again today, a little bit slow in the beginning but ending the trip with a bang, as a few of these sharksmade beautifully close passes by the boat and cage.

The second trip of the day launched into the sunshine but with a slight increase in the wind making for some choppy conditions but none the less, a lovely day to be on the water. The Copper sharks appeared quickly and stuckaround for much of the trip, giving the guests onboard a great view of a species that we have only become familiar with over the last few months.
