Overcast days! Don’t think animals are affected by the lack of sunshine, to be honest they are often more social and seeking out interaction as the bay is quiet. Recreational boat users are not usually out on an overcast day so don’t be deterred.
From our employees recommendations they always recommend quiet days outside the busy summer school holidays, weekends and public holidays. During this time the bay is filled with other watercraft and the animals can be less likely to interact due to the volume of traffic.
