Sharkwater

There is a great white shark named Lola--and she lives in the
anchorage where I am in Mossel Bay. She patrols the western
breakwater. I haven't seen her,which could be a good thing or a bad
thing. And--if you believe this--i had to get IN THE WATER to clean
my hull. Crazy ... not really. Everyone swims here; no one is ever
attacked. Mind you, I did have a friend with me in the water, and
Laura in the kayak. Group supported operation. Sickly, we actually
were mildly disappointed not to see her. Morbid, but true. Watch the
movie "Sharkwater" and you will feel differently about sharks. They
simply don't kill humans. Five deaths a year. Coke machines kill
more people.
