Playing with the Sharks at Sellicks

For those guys and PENNY who sailed at Sellicks on Saturday late, I posted some shots in the gallery. (Can't figure out how to do the shortcut - ya just gotta look at the gallery.) The wind was a bit fluffy and Slack plodded over a shark bigger than his board, a huge grey (white) one. He saw the fins sticking out on either side and the dorsal fin as well. Unfortunately he was heading out to sea at the time and there was hardly any wind but he managed to do a fluffy gybe. The shark helicopter went over twice about the same time and didn't see it but the tourist biplane saw it and circled, so I don't know whether the copter guys were actually LOOKING. Ya can't trust them 100% can ya? Anyway all these guys and Penny went out just after this. This is Timmy....

These photos were taken about half an hour after Slack was plodding out over a shark. Lots of Salmon around and little waves. Fluffy wind. He saw the shark, it was bigger than his board, he saw the pectoral fins way out to the side and the dorsal fin. When we asked what colour it was he said Grey, Grey, Grey. Er, so I decided to stop sailing seeing I was spending a bit of time hanging in the water in between gusts waiting for the next gust to waterstart. And I wanted to take some photos. But these guys had just arrived so they all went out. Susie
