What I find rather funny, in a pathetic sort of way, is that people go swimming in many ocean locales and never knew that there could be sharks around them at any moment.
I talk to people while I'm fishing down in Duxbury, and tell them that at low tide you can wade out quite a ways from shore and only be waist deep. That they know. When I also tell them the numbers and types of sharks that inhabit those very same waters (and possibly same times) they look at me like I just sprouted wings!

The key part of my little shark-shock story is that the sharks that inhabit MOST of the NE coastal waters (north of the cape) are all fish eating sharks. There is a rare chance that a GW or Bull shark might wander up our way, but that's a longshot.

I consider sharks like hawks, falsons, owls and eagles: they are better appreciated in the wild.
