Shark sightings lead to closure of Nantucket's entire south shore
The Patriot Ledger ^ | 8/18/2021 | Staff

Posted on 08/19/2021 11:12:28 AM PDT by 1Old Pro

Nantucket Harbor Master Sheila Lucey said there were at least five shark sightings throughout the day and all of them were less than 15 feet from the shore.

The beaches closed Wednesday afternoon included Cisco Beach, Surfside Beach, Nobadeer Beach, Miacomet Beach and Medaket Beach.

Lucey said Nantucket officials are asking people to stop fishing on swimming beaches because their bait may be attracting sharks, The Boston Globe reports.

Is it the bait, or the seals, only Capt. Tom knows for sure.

Unfortunately, this might cut back John Kerry's sailboarding.

I was at the beach once and I heard some guy yelling from the water, "Help! Shark! Help!".
I just laughed because I knew that shark wasn't going to help him.

Hopefully the beaches are still wide open in Martha’s Vinyard
where the Obama’s are vacationing on their multimillion dollar estate, giving Joe Biden instructions on handing Afghanistan over to Communist China and the Taliban so that gays , Christians and uppity women can be beaten, stoned and beheaded.

The guy's favorite saying was probably "Bite Me".

The sharks are sick and tired of all the lecturing about “Climate Change”.

Their solution—eat the virtue signalers!

There was a young girl from Nantucket,
Who went to the shore with a bucket.
Off the beach to the south,
She saw a shark’s gaping mouth.
The shark’s mouth snapped shut,
Biting her off her butt.

Which way does the current flow?

Obammy’s Choom Gang could have tossed a few uncooperative witnesses into The Drink.
Now the floaters are attracting sharks.

Better disposal site than than Fort Marcy Park or a lagoon in Chappaquiddick.

Enquiring minds want to know . . .

Had to double check that the date was "August 2021" rather than "August 2001"

The Vaccine should protect you, even sharks are smart enough to stay away from contaminated food.

I think South Beach is popular on MV, don't know the beaches as well in Nantucket.

Which private beach was it that Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse’s wife was the “BEECH” master of?
