See? SEE? THIS is why I do NOT go into the ocean, beyond the tide pools.

Beyond that, YOU are BAIT! :)

Great White Shark in Massachusetts salt pond

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yes, I grew up in Florida at the beach every week. We always knew the sharks were out in the surf. I felt something like sandpaper rub up against my leg one day when I was out about shoulder deep. I got out of the water and never surfed again or went out beyond my knees. I still don’t.

Mr. GG2’s twin sister got bitten on the foot by a shark near Malibu pier when she was a teen. Had to be taken to the hospital for stitches. They are bad news.
