The crew did a fantastic job on turnaround yesterday afternoon and we were embarking guests by 2130, preparatory to steaming back out to the Guadalupe great white sharks. We’re hoping to be the only charter boat out there, although it is very likely that the sailing yacht Galatea and the motor yacht Prima Donna will be onsite by the time we get back to Guadalupe.

Steaming home from Guadalupe after our best trip so far with the white sharks

Guadalupe great white shark cages working well

Our new cages are working really well, and are far more stable than the ones we used last year. I’m really pleased with them. Sturdy gangplanks, DUI weight harnesses and 25ft whips on the 2nd stage regulators are all big improvements as well.
