In the submersible cages the sharks were so close to the cages that you could see their eyes looking at you when they passed by slowly.

“Rhett” and three of his friends kept circling, fast and close, until “Rhett” did a partial breach to grab the bait and came at us with jaws wide open.

With all the fever and hysteria around shark week, its easy to forget that it is a TV program, designed to entertain and thrill the masses. Often things are exaggerated, misinterpreted or completely made up on shark week programs.

Our transit from Guadalupe Island back to Ensenada was uneventful with mild 6ft seas yesterday evening, mellowing out overnight to just a low swell for the morning. This was truly a lovely trip with a group of exceptionally warm and nice people onboard. The great white sharks weren’t bad either!!
