It is interesting. Thanks, Cap’n.
Thanks. I did not know their populations had rebounded nor that they were protected. State voters here in CA protected mountain lions some years ago and they are all over now. You can’t enter a county or state park without man lion warning signs. Humans are sure nice to let bears, wolves, lions, and sharks back on top of the food chain. Nothing I like better than being afraid that I’m going to be some critter’s dinner when I’m hiking and swimming.

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.Remember that, Dad? And the whole time we were in Jaws territory!
"We're going to need some more tags."
And, to think, that at the time of filming ‘Jaws’ in the Cape cod waters, there had not been any sightings of any great white sharks, ever!
Odd are, given where they, any human they get will be an ultra lib so it’s all good.
Big fish fun!
I lived in Chatham for four years. We spent a lot of time at Harding’s Beach in the summer. We were always alert for the presence of these brutes.
There have been a lot of seals the past few summers.
Yesterday, Oct. 28, 2014 the tagging boat and spotter plane got some photos of a white shark predation on a seal close to shore off Chatham MA.
