[prisoner6]

A very good friend of mine was off the Jersey coast in less than 3 feet of water...way less. He felt something against his leg, started yelling and headed for shore.

It saved his life.

Moments later another swimmer was hit in a shark attack. Luckily for my friend it just brushed him...took some skin off and made him bleed a bit.

Amazingly enough he now lives in Duck NC and goes to the beach every day. Always tries to talk me into going down there with him, even though he's had several other encounters or had warnings in the bay where he swims.

I like the Outer Banks but I confine my swimming to the hotel pools...sigh

Have you/your friend read this book?.........Close To Shore..........about a great white, in 1916, that attacked several people along the New Jersey shore.

Great book.

(The movie "Jaws" was loosely based on these events.)
