The NSRI are in top form as usual and were swift to the aid of ski-boat Mduduze off Umhloti with two casualties sustained during a tussle with an estimated 300lb marlin. The marlin jumped onto, into and over the boat inflicting serious wounds on the anglers. The victims have both been stabilised.

For a fantastically eery experience, log onto Ocean Global Shark Tracker and see what a few Great Whites are doing right now. As of yesterday, Maddox, a 2000lb monster, was casually heading into the Maputo Bay area. Brenda Fassie and Louise were cruising the coast just south of Inhambane, a bunch of whites are swimming about in Zululand…and for those of you living and swimming in the Cape – wow! An amazing concentration of sharks hang out in the Southern Cape waters…check it out…!
Another success story is about a shark called Success, a 3500 pounder – he swam across from deep Cape Town to past Maputo and across to Madagascar in 6 weeks!
