We launched this morning in a slight drizzle but throughout the tour the weather cleared up and the sun was shining at the end. We were heading along the coast and into deeper waters where we saw a couple of seabirds before reaching Geyser Rock with all the Cape Fur seals. The island was quite full and many more were swimming alongside the boat as we were passing through Shark Alley. On our way back we were heading back to the coast and made a stop a the shark cage diving boat.
