Day: March 20, 2012

 

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…
