Ran into a basking shark on the way back from South Island today. Zack said they are thick from the bottom of the nine down to the islands.



Pulled along side for a better shot.


When it noticed the boat it made a hard left and charged the boat. I thought for sure this can't be good.


It turns out all the shark wanted was some of that bubbly water coming off the prop. Probably taste like Perrier and makes his face all tingly..
