Parents, officials, kids—I guess none of them were thinking at all.
Just returned from Holden Beach.. a stones throw from Oak island...
We have fished for sharks off the shore for years...
we don’t swim early in the morning or after about 3pm...
and never ever swim near a pier... the fisherman are literally baiting the water!!!
The Whites are said to be "juvenile" and here to eat fish and stingrays, not sea lions and people.
Nonetheless, surfers see the sharks daily, and one guy, a distance swimmer, has been bitten, though that had to do with the shark first getting hooked by a pier fisherman.
Naturally, the Gaia-worship drum-circle types think its just wonderful that there the white sharks are around, and that our waters are now shark-infested, because its means the bay is "healthy".
