[shaggy eel]

,,, white pointers are the main curse in this part of the world. I'm a little too far north for them. They like colder spots like Dunedin and the Chatham Islands. I've heard one tale of how a young guy (first time out) with an experienced diver, had his leg taken off in a flash off a Dunedin beach. Apparently, he bled to death in a matter of minutes. I get my ankles wet on the Kapiti Coast and live to tell about that.
