We had another early morning, with only one boat trip planned today. For the first time since I arrived, we went out to nearby Dyer Island rather than staying in the bay. The sharks are in a transition period where they are moving more towards the island where they spend the winter months. So at this time of year, it’s a bit of a toss up as to whether we stay in the bay or go to the island to look for the sharks. Some of the other boats have seen more sharks these last couple of days at the island so we decided to go there today.
It was a lovely, sunny, calm day and we anchored up to the west of the island. There was a small fishing boat nearby and a shark popped up next to it so we tried to encourage it to come across to us by banging on the side of the boat and it came to have a look!! We saw only 3 sharks today but we also had a few seals who came across from the island to see us! On the way back, we drove close to the island to see the seal colony and there were hundreds of them!! There were small pups amongst the adults and lots of them were playing about in the water in front of us!!
This afternoon, we had another lecture. This one was about shark attacks and I’m very glad I’m a diver and not a surfer!! Later on, I went for a walk along the sea shore and sat on a rock watching the sea. It really is very beautiful here!!
I made a stir-fry tonight and then we all played cards for a while. We have a very busy day tomorrow with 2 trips and room for all four of us too :-)
