Thursday the 25th of August, as the storm has not yet hit the South African coastline, we launched Lamnidae... Just a few Sharks during the first three hours, but then as we were giving up, more Sharks suddenly appeared, and we observed ten different White Sharks today! The best day in many weeks! Great day! Alexia stayed on shore since she did not feel well today. |

| We experienced a massive and powerful storm from Thursday evening through Saturday, with waves in the 25 to 40 ft range hitting the Western Cape coastline. On Sunday the 28th of August in the morning, our friend Lance, manager of the Carcharias Boutique, decided to hit the remaining waves in Romansbaai with his bodyboard... Unfortunately, the swell had come down surprinsingly fast overnight... Surfers call bodyboarders lovingly 'Shark Biscuit'... |
