My niece told me she was afraid of meeting a shark in the bay when she went kayaking. I reassured her that all the years I lived at Dolans Bay, I only saw a handful of sharks. I sent her this photo as a gentle reminder of this fact.
Laugh; my first time *ever* swimming in the ocean was in Australia; and my friend assured me that the shark nets would keep us safe. I wasn't sure, but I went in. LATER THAT DAY....a 17 yr old lost her leg to a 20ft tiger shark just on the other side of those nets....I didn't go above my knees for the REST of my visit!!!
I saw the movie "Jaws" as a very young woman and haven't gone swimming in the ocean since then!!!! I walk along the beach in the surf! (I would never go kayaking in the ocean either)!

ReplyDeleteYep, tell her not to worry. Everyone knows that the grey whites prefer to hang around the Northern Beaches. LOL.
ReplyDeleteYou ARE wicked! But I'd still like to come visit and do some kayaking.
