Today was the last day of good weather we’ve had in a while. Tomorrow the wind is picking up and the swell will get above 4m so we won’t be going out to sea. From yesterday the sharks have been a bit slower, meaning that we needed a bit more patience for the sharks to come to the boat. We have still been managing to see sharks on every trip, something that doesn’t go for all the companies down the road. The morning was really warm as there was not a lot of wind, fortunately the wind picked up a little bit so that everyone could cool down. The first shark we saw arrived after a little less than an hour on anchor, followed by a very little shark shortly after. The small shark was around 1.8m in length and we have seen this individual before. We can recognize him by a bite from a small shark on his right flank. During the trip a short tailed stingray came around to check out what was going in. We ended up seeing 4 sharks, varying from 1.8m to 3.3m in length. On our second trip we also managed to see a shark, it was again the 1.8m one we spotted on our first trip. He showed off quite a bit in the beginning with some small breaches but got more relaxed as time passed. He moved off a few times and came back after some time so that everyone got to see him up close and personal from within the cage!
