[Capt. Tom]

This is an article I wrote few years ago. It was published in about 50 coastal newspapers throughout New. England.

I came across it while looking for a recent up to date article I wrote for the 2021 shark season.-Tom

Hopefully some Freepers will like it.

“A few years later, in the early 2000s, the protected, nomadic white sharks, 12 feet in length and longer, gradually altered their coastal ocean routes to zero in on the thousands of nutritious gray seals that were multiplying on Cape Cod’s oceanside beaches of Provincetown, Truro, Wellfleet, Eastham, Orleans and Chatham.”

Lets see: sharks protected, check. Nutritious seals protected, check
Less nutritious human snacks, not protected. Got it

I would think that politicians would be nutritious due to fat content. But only Republications. Everyone knows Democrats are a protected species.

[Alas Babylon!]

Damn well written article, Cap!

Pro Tip:

Do not suite up in a black wet suite and black swim fins.

I’d strongly encourage MA residents/voters to help preserve the white sharks by swimming frequently on the Cape...

Swimming enjoyment can be enhanced by rubbing animal blood on your legs before entering the water...

I seem to remember from reading Jaws the book that in response to a question about why the shark was hanging around, a character replied “It had food”.

I learned to surf at Nauset Beach in the 70s. Couldn’t pay me to go into that water now.
