We knew the organizer. He drowned a few years ago, it was a tragic accident. His name was Steve James.

Yes, I wish I could remember the posters name Capt. something or other and he lived somewhere near Duxbury. He consulted and wrote about sharks. He relayed the story about James.

“That said 14 ft doesn’t sound that big....”

Some things one needs to see up close to appreciate its true size.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

I meant only in relation to what was described in Jaws. We can die from a mosquito bite with the wrong disease being carried by it. Yes 14 ft is 14 ft too much shark I ever want to encounter in the briny.
