21 June, Victor Harbor Sunfish again! this time on a perfect winters day...

Another Sunfish swimming in the glassy waters of Victor Harbor today, fantastic to see these new visitors to our waters... we also had 2 Southern Right Whales in the region near Port Elliot / Middleton (no photos avail)

While inspecting the boat at our mooring we had a visit from a Sun Fish, such a rare sight in our local Victor Harbor waters. The southern Fleurieu Peninsula is rich with marine life, only 45 minutes south of Adelaide, South Australia.

May 27, No Whales but a Sunfish visit

Last Sunday we were out cruising the islands off of Victor Harbor when a Sunfish visited, we haven't seen any before in the area.  Such a beautiful animal peacefully swimming by The Big Duck.  Sunfish can grow to up to 3.3m in length and weigh more then 2t!

 

On May 27 2018 , A Sunfish visited the waters of Victor Harbor. Jo Grinter was on board The Big Duck to capture the video first hand. This is the first Sunfish the Skippers of the Big Duck have seen in the area.
