What a day! We had two very successful trips today even though it was a bit chilly on the water yet again! Our first trip not only offered amazing shark sightings but bird sightings as well! We spotted a large Shy albatross on the horizon soaring through the sky in majestic fashion. Shortly afterwards we were lucky enough to spot a giant petrel as well. We had some people suffering from ‘motion distress’ on both our trips today, but I’m very happy that everyone had a great time nonetheless.  Our second trip played host to her majesty’s navy boys and their family members. A really fun loving bunch of guys. We had two satellite tagged sharks sightings on both trips and both “Betty” and “Nemo” made an appearance. In true impressive fashion the sharks were putting on a phenomenal aerial display with their energetic leaps after our decoy! It was great to see...
