Fun weekend!

We had a great Friday night out and I decided to be the designated driver after all. I’m very glad I did as we didn’t eat until after 9pm and I would have been completely sizzled again!!

We had one trip again on Saturday with a 7.30am launch. We had a nice fairly flat sea and we had a good feeling about the sharks today – in fact, a few of us had a bet on how long it would be before we saw a shark…..and Adrian won by 2 mins!! The sharks were a bit intermittent but all the clients who went into the cage saw a shark. Lizzie went into the cage but unfortunately she didn’t stay in long enough :-(

When we got back, Lizzie shot straight up to the house to have a shower and finish packing and then we said our goodbyes!!

On Saturday afternoon, I managed to change my flight so that I fly to Jo’berg next Sunday rather than Saturday. I will be able to stay here for another day and then will be spending Saturday night with my friend Andrew and his family in Cape Town :-)

Today’s trip was quite bizarre! We had about 15 clients and we could tell they were troublemakers from the start!! There was a bit of a swell when we got out to the site and soon most of them were being seasick! There is a RIB which will come out to collect seasick passengers for R400 so we asked the clients and they agreed that they wanted off!! So 9 clients were taken off the boat which left 6 who were keen to stay. As we had only seen 2 sharks intermittently, our skipper decided to move us closer to Dyer Island. We then saw 5 sharks who were great entertainment – the remaining clients were very glad they stayed!!

This afternoon, I nipped into town with Adrian (our marine biologist here at the WSP) but we forgot it was Sunday and the shops were closed…..so we thought we ought to have a drink at the pub instead (hic!).

We are having take away pizza tonight and will be waiting to find out what tomorrow’s plans are!
