Dassen Island to Saldanha Bay

Green Coco Sailing

We stopped at the most incredible uninhabited island, Dassen, for the night. So reminiscent of California Channel Islands. Bull kept forests, TONS of birds flying overhead, mama and baby humpback whales swimming around, cormorants & white pelicans sunning themselves and so many penguins you could see hanging out on the beach, a couple curious ones even swam out to our boat to check us out! So cool!!! Would have loved to spend more time there but unfortunately not only is it forbidden to go to shore, we also had to get to Saldanha bay for a scheduled haul out. So it was time to carry on…
