SHARKS

This blog title pretty much explains it all. On May 1st, a bunch of us (Katie, Lauren, Lauren, Mollie, Caitlin and Alvand) boarded a small boat and navigated the high seas to find Great Whites. Despite having an untimely date with seasickness, it was by far one of the greatest days in Cape Town. We woke up at 4:30am and arrived by 7, ate a quick breakfast, and we were on the boat all day.
     All seven of us were able to fit in the cage at one time which was awesome. The ship crew would through chum in the water to attract the sharks. They were HUGE. Shark week on the Discovery Channel does not do them justice. They came right up to the cage, which freaked me out a bit, but we knew they wouldn't be able to get in. If anyone reading this ever travels to South Africa, I definitely recommend this!
