On our charter Saturday we ran across a very rare site, a huge whale shark. We circled him several times and was amazed at his size and the way he just cruised along just under the surface. I've heard that to see a whale shark in the wild was a once in a life time experience and I can certainly believe that. One of the guys on our charter got a couple of pictures of him and some nice action shots of some dolphin.
