Looks like a good day due for Wednesday - who is in for a Middleton? Also planning a dawn patrol for Thur morning at Semaphore - anyone available to zip up my wetsuit?![]()
I still have a big appetite despite:
- Semaphore dawn assalt last Wed
- Semaphore afternoon delight last Wed
- Rippleton Sat arvo and bakery run
- Seacliff dawn assult Sun morning
So count me in Geoff for Wed bakery run at dribbleton and a dawn assault on Thurdsay (either Semaphore or Seacliff).
chris and i had fun when those black clouds hit this arvo. i managed to break my second 4.7 in three days, no sign of your shark though geoff
was fair to say middleton was going off for most of the day today! and it was definatly bigger then a ripple! had a freakin ball! the squall with hail in must have been atleast 40 knots! physco!
there was a big seal around 6ft there on sat,couldnt make out a fin so assumed it was seal,maybe its still hanging around or maybe your shark is trailing the seal![]()
although it didnt stick its head up when i was watching it??
so Geoff are we talking like whale bitey size shark <3m...... or a little cute baby dolphin wanna be >3m?????? definatly does feel different when there are animals around! whales, dolphins sharks seals. i think were pretty lucky to have such close encounters with the whales! its pretty cool.
Myself and Geoff Mitton once saw the biggest thing i've ever seen in the water at dribbleton and it was no seal, it wasn't a whale it wasn't a dolphin, it was a big as ****, big as your car white pointer. Your in SA there gonna be there. good luck ![]()
I sailed almost straight over it then saw the whale in the distance. It has a fit on the top - shark like. Was around 3m but not the whale. Seal - only if they have a shark like fin on the top and swims side to side...
Next time there's whales and dolphins I will bring my mask, snorkel and fins and hopefully one of you can tow me out so I can swim with them!!![]()
On second thoughts, maybe I will sail out (with a mates shark shield) then swim!!![]()
we should be down there right now.
web cam looks like theres a few left over waves and some decent wnw blowin.
