If you think Narragansett is great white shark free then do yourself a favor and don't speak to anyone working on the water in the area. There was a large one inside the Harbor of Refuge last summer, several have been caught in the fish traps, and likely many more that don't make the news.

Great time to be there.

I hope you're right. I saw Greg Skokal (spelling?) on TV, the marine biologist shark expert from Woods Hole, who is always on TV, and he said the one thing that's changing ta the Cape, is that tagged sharks are spending more time very close to the beach, more than before, And the bites started the first year we went, 5-6 years ago at Ballston Beach in Truro.

No place is shark free. But they're not all equal, either. Have fun in August.
