Almost finished!

Today is my penultimate day here at the White Shark Projects!! We had another 2 newbies joining us today so we are 8 volunteers in total!!

We had 2 trips today and it was quite hard work breaking all the newbies in! I supervised data collection with one of them but she was pretty good so I left her to it! The sharks were pretty good so I got in the cage this morning!! The sharks seemed to be staying deep so we could see them but not close enough to get any descent pictures today.

This afternoon’s trip was a full boat! I took a bit of a back seat and let the newbies do most of the work, though I organized attaching the cage to the boat with them and I also pulled anchor again at the end of the trip!! The sharks were pretty good this afternoon and I finally managed to get half descent pictures of a breeching shark :-)

I have managed to organize going out on both trips tomorrow and will get a lift into Cape Town after the second trip!! I have packed most of my stuff and just need to finish off tomorrow morning. I am really going to miss this place and will definitely come back again very soon!!!!!!
