This morning was an early start for our guests and crew as we tried our best to get on the water before the wind and swell really picked up. We were first on anchor and settled down to see if a White shark would turn up for us today. The Copper sharks appeared quickly and stuck with us for most of the trip as well as the Short-tailed stingrays coming and going throughout. We also had a beautiful sighting of an adult Southern Right whale and a juvenile brindle Southern Right whale moving from the shallows out past the boat and into the deeper waters.
The second trip of the day launched and spotted some Southern Right whales as they made there way onto anchor in the Shallows. Once on anchor this trip had the Copper sharks appear and the Short-tailed stingray also join in on the fun. Unfortunately no White sharks were seen.
This afternoon the wind had picked up but our last group braved the chill and chop in the hopes that they might be the lucky ones to see the elusive White sharks. The Copper sharks and Short-tailed stingrays were around yet again but no White sharks for our third and final trip of the day.
