D*E*A*R*E*S*T all

Hallo julle almal ! 

Just a little update on SANDY  - she’s part of Vincent’s pod (raft)  - lying in the water daily either JUST north or JUST south of the bridge , or next to the jetty of The Estuary and below the Protea Hotel  .

I took beautiful photos again of Vincent  -…..we haven’t seen Vincent 

There however seems to be one very aggressive younger male in that pod , yesterday Shaun witnessed this male wanting to attack one of the much younger (about 4 months old ) little calf  , Vincent tried to fend it off ...

Anyway – I can tell you all kinds of stories about what’s hap’ning on the water , but it’s SOOOOOO good to be back on the water so frequently and the sightings are awesome ! 

I need to ask a HUGE favour  - P*L*E*A*S*E – pretty please ask your WHALE WATCHING clientele if their ticket you issue them reads a certain departure time , they have to be at The WHALE SHOP 15-20 minutes prior to that time on the ticket ….we still have to do safety briefings and indemnity forms with everybody and Danie gets VERY uptight if the truck doesn’t leave the Whale Shop in good time , arriving on the beach late etc etc etc etc …..

AND….we’ve seen that the sun is setting a bit later lately …..but we’re not going to change the HIPPO/CROC cruises now already  - if you remember correctly we only change the times middle of September , it’s no use to depart at 15h30 for the next 30 days , and then chop and change again mid Sept to 16h00 , so lets keep the last departure on 15h00 till middle of September …. 

Please phone our offices anytime if you’re unsure !

SOME mornings it’s REALLY cold even on the Hippo/Croc cruise , and I still see people arriving at the jetty without no jackets , they get irritated by the cold once we get going and then keep on asking when are we turning back , other passengers have paid for a full tour – please ask your clientele to bring warm jackets , no matter how warm it is in the parking lot at the jetty , it’s ALWAYS cold on the water in the wind !

I’m out of the office quite a bit doing the boat tours  , but Joey is here to attend to your questions .You can phone her anytime . If her phone just rings, it’s because she’s busy on the other line , just try again couple ofminutes later .
