Prometheus

No sail days are quite boring, so it is nice to have something to look forward to this afternoon when we head over to Cape Town to watch Prometheus, the prequel to Alien. Alien was very good and I'm surprised I haven't seen it before now; it's a lot  less scary than I thought it would be!

I'm currently trying to write an entry for Marine Dynamics' blog, about my background and the work I'm doing here. I'm not sure how much detail to go in to really, so I might try to catch Michelle later (the person 'in charge' of the blog). In the mean time, whilst there isn't much happening to fill out this blog, I'll post some pictures I took in the last couple of days.

Above is the view from the boat towards the houses on the sea front. Our holiday home is just behind one of the houses towards the left hand side of this picture. You can see how close we are to the shoreline!

Here is the view from the patio out onto the sea! This is just before sunset at about 6pm.

And finally, one of the Great Whites I'm studying! I'm yet to get the perfect shot, but this is a taster of what it's like to get near one of these wonderful creatures! This one is probably about four meters long.
