To this day, I still fear oceans because there are creatures swimming within that can eat you in one gulp. And you don’t see them coming.
I’m more than a snack, thank you.
Look at those two kids who got their arms bitten off last week, where was that North Carolina? Somewhere on the east coast I think. The girl almost lost her leg too. And they were pretty young teenagers, I don’t think they were too far out.
I used to go to the beach a lot in those days, for at least a year or two after I saw jaws I heard that music in my head every time I got to the shore.
It’s not my fave movie, but those beach scenes are really well done.
*sigh* - We used to make trips to the ocean. Husband & I would go snorkeling in fairly shallow water not too far from the shore. We once went to the beach; but there was a nasty tide of stinky stuff. We just drove on down to Seagrove Beach where it was nice & clear & went snorkeling & swam. Now, we don’t wear bathing suits any more. It puts people off, too. You’d be surprised how quick a beach clears out when we arrive. :o)
