I awoke this morning went out on my porch and was greeted by hoards of Gannet's diving in the sea with whales romping in the water feeding on the little silver fish, a net has been taken at Ifafa Beach which is about 20km from Aliwal Shoal they have definitely arrived. Going diving at Aliwal now ta-ta

Great... thanks for the regular updates... some questions - I am considering a last minute trip down in the next 2 weeks to see the run. According to the current condition, is it better for 1st week of July, or the second week? ...or will it already be too late? I have never been there before and only read about it. The operator is based out in Mbotyi, is this the best place to see it? I also read in some opinions that this year's run will not be as good/spectacular as previous years, what's your opinion?

thanks, J.
