Have you seen this film? It’s based on the 1916 New Jersey shark attacks. It’s called “Shore Thing”.

I saw this last week. Great whites are pretty amazing creatures. While I have a better understanding of them than I had before my basic idea is still that if I see one of these in the water I want to get out as fast as possible. I know humans are not their ideal prey but a few taste bites is more than enough. Jill Blog
