On the 24th of December 2004, we launched Lamnidae in the early morning hours... We observed five different White Sharks today... And the conditions were the best we probably had the whole month of December... Flat sea, hot air blowing from the east and good viibility. Great morning with the Sharks! |

A pod of about six Humpack Dolphins visited Lamnidae during the morning while we had a White Shark swimming around the boat... They certainly did not seem to mind one another in the beginning. But as the Dolphins moved closer, the Shark disappeared... |

We then conducted our shore transect along the Haibaai beach... We observed four White Sharks swimming close to shore... Again, the conditions were ideal and perfect! It was so wonderful to have such a beautiful day again... December has not been a great month so far, with a lot of wind and choppy seas... but today made up for it! |

Michael and Tracey, and our assistants, Trey, Nick, Gillian and Kate, wish you a Merry Christmas from the sunny and warm Great White Shark Capital of the World! |
