Sardine Run 2011

Hi guys,

enjoy a short video about 2011 Sardine Run action in Port St. Johns

Cheers,

Kirsten & Beo

Great action !

Thanks for sharing.

Good show.

Bad weather scrubbed our trip to the Sardine Run this summer. We'll try again next year.

Nice action indeed, especially that little anchovy/saury ball at the end. I thought Keith said you guys had a Bryde's whale in one of the balls? You may also wish to switch the video upload to 16:9?

Are you sure it was bad weather? I thought the Snow Petrel wasn't working at all at one point. The weather wasn't perfect at all but we had about 2 days off at one point then we could launch.

Drew:

The Snow Petrel had apparently sucked up mud from the copious run-off. A couple of divers from our group stuck it out with the beach launches at the run, whereas the remainder (me included) opted for Aliwal. Even so, we had a few down days there, with high surf rendering the launches unwise.

Ah ok. I remember writing Mauricio about it and he told me he was up in Aliwal. I did hear that people did go back to East London to launch mid July and got nothing. Bad viz out of East London most times.

What was this shot with?
