I had to write about this particular subject because I feel very strongly about it. This past weekend when I went to Martha's Vineyard I was on the ferry leaving Falmouth for Oak Bluffs and my dad calls me up on the phone to inform me that there was a great white shark sighting at one of the beaches on the Vineyard. Shortly after that my sister Kelly calls to tell me the same news. They know I am deathly afraid of the water and sharks so they both wanted to be the first ones to tell me! ( :
So of course the whole boat ride over everyone is joking and laughing about sharks and me and another girl on the boat sitting behind me were talking and joking about how guys, including Jared, always say that if they were in the water with a shark they would punch it in the face or somehow fight the shark off! Um! I don't think so! If you are in the water and you somehow come face to face with one of those things it is all over!
It turns out that some of the sightings that week on the Vineyard were a hoax but just shortly after they announced the hoax a "small" great white shark washed up on a beach in Nantucket. It was 6 1/2 feet long and to me that is not small!!
Im going to stick to sitting as far away from the water as possible on the sand on my towel!
