Sharks, man

That’s wild. Cool app for sure.

My wife grabbed it a few years back when they started hyping up the new buoys. I thought it was kinda silly at first, but then it turns into fear porn.

You sure about that?

I don’t know, after seeing that incredible flyover of what has to be 100s of thousands of seals (read: dinner) I’d say that’s a really handy app.

To paraphrase the warning in the app screen grab, “Never get out of the boat. Absolutely goddamn right. Unless you were going all the way.”

Fucking fantastic story m2711c

Hopefully folks have kept up to speed on tourniquet protocol, because survival odds after waiting for someone to run back and grab that bleed kit can’t be good.

“Food Court” at Nauset? Did they add Sbarro and Chinese to go with the overpriced burgers and dogs?

I’ve seen enough horror movies to know that one day those are going to come to life and bite someone’s sick off.

The orcas in South Africa like to play with the great whites and then bite out their livers and leave the rest to wash up on the beach. Savage.

I got to see and have my hand grazed by a big great white while cage diving there. It’s intimidating to see one quickly appear out of the murkiness underwater.

Back when we were diving for abalone on the north coast, we'd go into some pretty sharky places, and of course there were seals around. The fuckers just love to swim around you just at the edge of viz - seeing a big shape slowly moving around you was just a great feeling. You know they were doing it on purpose.

Never got a drive by while diving (that I know of). Surfing was a different matter. The rule was you didn't talk about it, because #1 - you didn't talk about your spots, and #2 - if your wife/partner found out they'd be on your ass to stop going there.

That actually happened to a dive trip we were planning. I was part of a group that was planning a hike in abalone dive up on the lost coast - nice reef, big abs, but a pretty long hike in. It was worth it though, some big hubcap sized abalone up there. Well, a few weeks before we were going, some diver got attacked and killed at this spot. No one in the group said anything, but word started to get out to our wives. One morning not long after, my wife read about it in the news. "Is that the spot you guys are going to?". "Uh, I don't know.." was my reply. She know I was lying 'cuz she's my wife and went ballistic. Pretty soon the other wives knew what was up. That was the end of that trip.

Completely unrelated to sharks, but this is at the top, so...the weather here's been pretty shitty, lots of fog and rain. Crazy foggy this AM but it cleared and I hadn't run the boat in a week so wife and I went for a quick spin.

Seas were calm, no wind, after a while I opened it up a bit, running along at ~35 mph and then dead ahead I see what looks like splashing, maybe birds on fish or something. I see it's moving slowly from left to right so I go a little left to miss it and just as I approach it I realize it's a guy swimming, literally a mile from shore. Almost ran his ass over. That would have been messy. And then I guess sharks would come to clean him up.

Guy never paused swimming, just kept going.

My father in law was on the Indianapolis. He more or less abandoned my wife, so we didn’t find out about it til after he passed. He got some citation for saving lives or something

damn whales tryin' to get in on that action now too....

Darwin wants to have a word with the whale.

Proof of stupidity on both sides.

Ouch! That's gotta leave a mark.

This actually might have the potential to almost make me sit down to pee...

I watched Jaws last night. People sure talked over one another a lot on the ‘70s.

Solo? I’ll never understand people that do shit like that.

[ötzi]

Yeah, just a guy swimming alone about a mile out in the ocean. I'm glad I was paying attention.

No buoy or anything? In sharky water? I guess he likes to live dangerously.

was there perhaps an island full of chicks with free beer somewhere in his general direction of travel?
