After a day of spear fishing and lobster diving, a group of boaters got the scare of a lifetime when a shark jumped into their boat.
Michael Powers and his friends were on-board a 21 foot boat Saturday, when a shark decided to pay them an unannounced visit. "One minute it was in the air, the next minute it was in the boat just beating everything in God's creation," Micheal recalled. "It hit one of the crew members. It hit Patricia, then it went between Paul's legs and my legs in the back. We're all scattering for cover trying to get up on the deck and out of anywhere we could, just to be safe," Michael said.

In the shark world, this sort of embarrassing misstep is known as “jumping the boat”.

"One minute it was in the air, the next minute it was in the boat just beating everything in God's creation," The bigger story appears to be that this was a flying shark, by jiminy.

I think it was about 8 Augusts ago when the news was full of shark stories...All that seemed to disappear about a month later.

from the article...
"No one was injured. "
I think the shark might take issue with that. From the pictures it appears that he's gone over the rainbow to see Dorothy and ToTo.

If I remember, right before 911 happened.

Yep...it was “Shark attacks caused by global warming” and “Gary Condit” 24 and 7 right up until about 8:00 a.m. on 9/11/01.

I have heard from the tons of sharks I’ve caught that sporties are really tasty... very popular item but hard to catch.

That sounds like a real mess in your pants kind of moment....

I’m not sure what kind of shark is pictured, but I’m fairly certain that it isn’t a Bull Shark. Bull’s have a distinctly ‘stubby’ and ‘thick’ profile. The shark pictured in the article has a slender, hydrodynamic profile. Possibly a Reef Shark.

That's what I wondered. Bulls have big, broad heads and this one didn't appear to.
OTOH, might have been a camera angle problem.
