Passing by...
12 January 2009, early
Gotta admit that I somewhat had the gitters during this swim… 2 days, 3 shark attacks, one about 2 km south the day before, schools of bait fish about 50m further out… but you gotta love the ocean, once the salt gets in your blood its draw is intense, especially when the surfs pumping! Enjoy!

this is a beautiful shot, you are very brave to get in the water near one of the attacks, but your still more likely to have car accident than get taken by a shark. And who can resist that magical underwater world -stunning
Paul Manning replied
thanks Miriam, appreciate your comments and I don’t get overly worried about it, you just get this feeling of butterflies, however at the end of the day the water is irresistable! cheers Paul
