What a spectacular day to be out at sea, the fact that we barely had to wait for the sharks made it so much better…

 

What a very special day it was on the boat today! We were celebrating a honeymoon with some newlyweds as well as having a party with one of our birthday girls on board! The shark sightings were very active and we barely had to wait 5 minutes for them to arrive! We had several large sharks today with the largest being 4 meters. The increase in wind gust resulted in a large drop in visibility in the water; however the sharks were very accommodating in this regard by simply coming closer to the cage :)! A couple of interesting sightings, other than the sharks of course, were some peculiar jellyfish in the water! I am still going to find out the species name, but if anyone knows its name please comment on the blog! I have added a photo of one of our local Gannets as well! A very entertaining day today…

Today was a unique and interesting day on the water! We were joined exclusively by the national junior Dutch cricket team and their guardians! They were all very excited about the prospect of seeing great white sharks in the wild. The sharks however kept us waiting a bit longer than usual today, it was only after persuading the boys to sing to the sharks that they decided to make an appearance. We had another large 4 meter shark around the boat all to ourselves, due to the fact that we were the only vessel out on the water today! Our tailor made boat makes it much easier to endure large swells on the water. Some of our guests suffered from temporary “motion distress”, but that did not prevent them from entering the cage! Great stuff Holland…
