Shark Ahoy

The sirens blared and the bathers fled the water as the black flag was changed for a white one with a black shark on it. Yes, a Great White shark was seen in the water just beyond the bathers at Fish Hoek. They have a flag system here, a green flag means "Shark spotter on duty and no shark seen"; a black flag means "Shark spotter on duty but poor water visibility"; a white flag with a black shark on it means "Shark spotted in water" and a red flag means "Shark spotted in the water in the last 2 hours". Enter their world at your own peril. That put an end to any thoughts of the beach today. So we went penguin watching at Boulders Beach and whale watching near Miller's Point as a Humpback whale frolicked near the shore.
