This morning’s trip was our fifth and final day with Primo’s research group. We launched from Kleinbaai harbour at dawn enjoying the spectacular sunrise! Back in the Alley today, we had a slow start with the sharks on the shy side. However this did change as the day went on and we were all thrilled to witness a speedy male juvenile torpedo itself at the group’s decoy/GoPro, launching itself and the decoy clear out of the water! We were also visited by “Free Willy”, a large female with its dorsal fin flopped over and a large patch of parasites on top of its head. On behalf of Marine Dynamics, I would like to extend a big thank you (grazie) to the group for joining us onboard Slasfhin, and wish them all the best in their research and future travels…
