[Capt. Tom]

When I think of how many times I have swam off Chatham... Harding’s Beach, the Chatham Bars Inn. One we took my uncle’s boat out to sand bar and had a BBQ

A friend who has been directly involved in the tagging, told me they follow some of these sharks for many miles until they can tag it correctly.
These tags cost thousands of dollars and must be placed properly to stay in for long periods of time.

Some of the sharks cruise up the beaches in less than 5 feet of water and when the taggers are following a shark past beachgoers, he can hear them say"Why is that boat so close to shore in here".( NOW the people know enough to get out of the water if they see a tagging boat anywhere near them.)

In some cases the white sharks are 16 feet in length,and just below the surface and the people at the waters edge, because of the surface glare, can't pick the shark out which is just ahead of the tagging boat and right in front of them. -Tom

My parents retired to Chatham in ‘97. But my Mom’s mom lived there from ‘68, I think. I have been to Chatham many times..
