Re: scariest moment while boating.....

hahahaha, that is nothing, many times I have seen those great whites around me when out racing, that is the best time I try to not flip the boat .... you get use to it ..... the one in the pic is a baby, the ones I have seen up in close are about 5 meters ..... it is very scary ..... I've seen one of these mosters rip off the lower unit of a other racer boat, he peed his pants ....... geuss the shark needed the prop to clean his teeth ....

Re: scariest moment while boating.....

How to avoid being attacked by a shark:


1: Don't swim in the ocean.

Ninety-nine percent of all shark attacks take place in exceptionally large
bodies of water also known as oceans.
The way to determine if you are currently in an ocean is to taste the water,
which should be salty.

2: Listen out for the music

In the event that you are foolish enough to swim in an ocean, listen
carefully for the music, as demonstrated in the marvelous documentary film
Jaws. All shark attacks are preceded by the "daah-da, daah-da"
chords,
which will gradually become more rapid as the shark gets closer. This is
due to the Doppler Effect.

3: Swim with fat people

Try to surround yourself with more appetizing companions.
If you know them well, you might even try to switch their suntan lotion with
A-1 Steak Sauce. This will definitely improve your odds.

4: Don't go into the water without a knife

This is not to defend yourself but to stab the person (a.k.a the
decoy)
closest to you in the case of a shark attack. Once you are sure the "decoy"
is bleeding profusely.....swim for your freekin life.

And finaly.....

5: Don't panic

In the event that a shark actually bites you, try to remain calm. This
really won't help you survive, but everyone else on the beach will
appreciate you not shrieking madly, as this is quite upsettling

Hope this helps.

Re: scariest moment while boating.....

I took a scuba class a number of yrs ago...the college first dive was in bodega bay...after the dive, my dive buddy said "I sure am glad we didn't see no great white"...I, being from Fla. said "great white what??"..he says "Great white shark...about 20 ft of eating machine!"...I again say.."And what do they eat"?....he says...."seals"...what the heck am I dressed as??....yep...full wet suit...looks like a seal.....that summer jaws came out and I haven't been IN the water since!!!...:$

if I was that kiyaker...I'd be pulling the jesus act...and run on water!!!....

NOPE...

What you don't see is that just out of the picture is the fishing charter boat...

The kayak is the lure!
