To: HANG THE EXPENSE

A couple of Japanese aircraft, don’t remember what they were. Also parts of a ship from a ways off. Lots of sharks so my attention was split.
You can walk for probably a mile from the island to the reef. Except for the channel where the ships came into dock. You wouldn’t want to be in the water there. Large sharks were in there. One of our guys killed a 12 ft Tiger shark with 2 hits from a bang stick. Thing was big enough to eat most of me in one bite. All I could think when I saw it was “That sob had to reload to hit it again!”

Thanks for that.I think the island is closed now to civilian traffic so no going there.From what you’re saying thats just as well.
