lifeguards appropriately closed that section of the beach for most of the day,
Just wondering—no one knew there were sharks in the ocean before then??
For the life of me, I can’t figure out why this story made the news. But it’s sort of cool, since Rockaway is my home town. Up until this weekend, when fins were spotted, the lifeguard would blow his whistle and everyone would have to come out of the water for a little while. No big deal.
This is the last day lifeguards are on duty until Memorial Day weekend 2008, so folks are on their own now.
Cue theme from Jaws ...
