On 24/01/2019 at 05:30 am, Kyle skippered the Algoa Bay Marine Vessel and excited Guests on a trip to St Croix.
Algoa Bay Marine were host to a number of international Marine Scientists attending a conference at the Nelson Mandela University. We organised a special trip for these guests as they had to be back at NMU for a 9:00 am start. Our early morning motoring out into a beautiful African Sunrise and Algoa Bay didn’t disappoint with a huge pod of Common Dolphins, Bait Ball, Brydes Whales and huge rafts of Jackass Penguins feeding.
