Seal Island trip #1


On Friday 19 December 2014 we went on a trip around Seal Island with Seven Seas.  This was my first trip around Seal Island in the my 11 years of living in Mossel Bay.

 Is was a lovely sunny day and the sea was calm and I enjoyed the trip.  The Seven Seas is a 60 foot, motorized luxury catamaran and you can buy refreshments and snacks on board. We were to busy enjoying the view to go inside for a drink.

 I will definitive it again and can recommend it.  We bought our tickets at the office near the harbour for R100 per person.
