Guy was wearing a wetsuit, swimming with his buds, couldn't keep up, was lagging 20 yards or so behind them--what picture does this paint to a GW? Hurt or tired seal that can't keep up with the herd, you think?
The shark only did what sharks do--react to external stimuli.
And there were at least a half-dozen GW sightings, and possibly one minor attack, reprted along that stretch of coast within the last 6-8 weeks.
Why blame the shark?
