Look who showed up at our beach today!
« on: September 06, 2015, 03:27:01 PM »
A surfer friend of mine, took this picture today at Whitecrest Beach on Cape Cod. (yup---- CCBC SUPathon location)

A 12' Great White beached itself and had to be rescued by Greg Skomal and his Shark research tagging boat.
3rd one this summer, to beach itself on a busy beach, in the middle of the day.... hummmmmm

I was a few miles away, talking to 'weed' and 'piece of eight".... we were just discussing that there is a close encounter with someone we know, almost every day!
They don't even close the beaches anymore..... but it's beginning to get a bit creepy.

I remember some youtube vid of a guy holding a small shark up to the camera and laughing while it thrashed.  Somebody told him to be careful, and the shark turned on him and opened up his pectoral area *just like that!* like he had been cut with a scalpel.

You can stay away from the business end, but they can still thrash around and get you.

Is Mike still here? He walked me down the isle at my Mexican wedding back in 1993... Stayed at Sparky's house. Good times. I'll see if I can find the pics.

Wow that's wild, just 2 weeks ago after the CCBC, Chaser and I were sup surfing just down from White Crest at Beachcomber and as I was about to paddle out, the life guards told Chaser  they had spotted an 8 ft juvenile Great White heading our way and recommended we stay out of the water for a while. We waited about 30 mins because the surf was pretty good, but don't think that wasn't on my mind all day.
Surf was good size and a lot of water moving and I felt like Carl Wallenda balancing on my 28" wide Imagine Snap in the line up..bad board choice that day.  Returned home with all limbs which was a relief.

I've been racking my brains trying to figure out what it means and I'm just not getting it.  ;D
