Watching a great photographer work

This morning (Aug 22) our Great White Expedition group met up with Chris amd Monique Fallows - the leaders of Apex Predators and favorite shark photographer (well Chris is), in Mossel Bay, to leatn about some predatation and breaching. We were able to watch the use of seal decoys after some time around Mossel Bays Seal Island. It was awesome to watch them work together and how much patience is needed to get a photograph you are proud of or sometimes even just one.

Getting ready to take my trip

Preparing for my very first international trip was a process for sure and took several attempts to get my passport. In addition, to lots of phone calls and research. First I had to order my birth certificate from another state. Then once it came in I went to send off  for my passport I was first told that I needed to have a certified copy of my marriage license because my name didn't match the name on my birth certificate.

I finally reached a location that told me to be there 7:30ish am  and I should be able to get  a place in line. This time I was the 9th person in line but again they only take the first 22 people.

Daily Itinerary

Everyone keeps asking me what I will be doing so this post will be the itinerary that has been sent to my from Apex Sharks Expedition. As you can tell I will be spending a lot of time on the water learning about sharks. The great thing is that our time out on the water will be in the morning and I will have afternoons to do some additional activities and exploring.

My flights are extremely long. Going to Cape Town will take about 25 hours and then coming home it will take about 28 hours. Even though I have some really cool layovers they are only about 2 hours each and so I won't get to explore some of Amsterdam or Paris. Day 1: 16 Aug...
