A couple of years ago, JohnnyD and I were fishing off the Race in my boat and saw an huge basking shark just off the beach about 40-50 yards. There were people swimming in the water with this beast just a few yards away but no one saw it. I almost yelled to them to point the shark out but didn't want to be responsible for any heart attacks. First time I'd seen one that close to the beach, but the water gets deep fast there.

	Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
