We had a couple of amazing sharks that were putting on a marvellous show! I was however very disappointed to see that our first shark of the day had two large hooks stuck in the corner of its mouth. I wish we could have helped that poor shark on the spot, however we would have done more harm than good. Our boat is not properly equipped for such things, unfortunately we could only inform our conservation agencies. This large 3.5 meter female remained with our boat for the entire duration of the trip and she was great to watch. She was definitely not camera shy :)! An old friend came to say hello; “Rosy” has been scarce for quite some time and she was lively as ever. We were also very fortunate to see a large flock of Cape Cormorants making their way towards Dyer Island, most likely to rest after a long day of fishing! It’s easy to understand why they are the most abundant sea bird species off our coast if you just view the photos! Great trip…
