Sardines at Sunwich Port: Photograph
Janet of Orca’s Bar and Restaurant, in Sunwich Port, keeps a sharp vigil for marine life passing by. Here she captured one of the many shoals of sardines – that are causing quite a stir down on the KZN Lower South Coast, at the moment.
Janet has a machine of a camera, with a telescopic lens, and is able to get right up close and personal with all kinds of marine life. Orca’s Bar and Restaurant features a huge whale watching deck, upstairs…perfect for checking marine life out.
Janet reports that the many humpback whales that were regularly seen cruising north lately, have all but disappeared. The whale migration did occur in deeper water this year, but they are due to return on their way back to the icy south, over the next few months. Dolphins have been up and down, but also looking as confused as the many wandering fishermen – all missing the sardines.
With some of the shoals of sardines spotted, were big dark things with big fins – according to Janet, a few shoals were definitely accompanied by big dark shadows!
Orca’s Bar and Restaurant features a truly south coast style menu with steak, egg ‘n chips narrowly beating the surfers special, as my favourite slection from their cool menu…check Orca’s out at Sunwich Port Beach, KZN south coast, for good food and vibes.
