Finally we were able to make it out to see today, after a massive cold front endured for a full seven days. We opted for working around the Island today, which paid off heavily. Despite the long wait on our first trip for the first sharks to arrive, they eventually did rock up in tremendous fashion. We had two very large sharks around the boat today; “Maurreen” on our first trip and a even larger (4.6m) female dubbed “Ridge back”, on account of a scar on her dorsal side. The limiting factor must have been the visibility in the water, perhaps it improves over the course of the next few days. Let’s see what tomorrow brings…
