we love the Cape, love everything about it - the water, the fishing, the bike trail, the Cape Cod league, the food, the mini golf, the lobstering. We cancelled our camping reservations for this summer, because my 3 boys love being in the water all day, riding waves on their boogey boards, which is exactly what last summer's victim was doing, in the middle of the day in broad daylight, when he was killed. We're going to Narragansett instead, I just can't imagine letting my kids in that water.

Will tourism be down at all? Lots of people can enjoy the Cape without going in the water, and maybe some people will be more inclined to go now if they want to try and see a shark?
