So yesterday we get our first shark sighting of the year!!!
There we were pootling along admiring all the pretty (and very big, I must say) soft corals hanging off the wall of Woodhouse reef in Tiran when along came a baby girl turtle. Well maybe she was a bit of a teenager, she was only about a foot across. Then a few minutes later along comes a white tip reef shark!! I have often seen sharks at this part of this reef, and the current was really quite lovely, bringing in lots of other fish, so we had ideal sharky conditions. But even then, on the front of the reef, at this time of year, I never really expect to see anything bigger than a giant trevallie or a napoleon wrasse. I had just been thinking how nice it would be to see something special… cool! The shark we saw wasn’t huge, about a metre and a half but that is big enough for me. We really got quite a lovely few moments with it too as it sauntered past on its way about business. Lovely.
