Shark Week

[seadogg]

I used to surf quite a bit on the cape before all the white shark sightings. I remember one particular outing... A friend and I were at Wellfleet a day or two after a tropical storm and it was foggy as hell. I remember the surf was huge, well overhead and larger than anything I had previously attempted. It was exciting but the sea was menacing. After taking a beating, I finally reached the lineup and took a breather. Not 10 feet behind me an enormous gray seal pops up. Scared the s*@t out of me. I just got a bad feeling and decided to paddle in. Swore from that day I would only surf the cape during the winter.
