Shark attack update...

It sounds like the surfer who was attacked earlier today is going to be alright. I have attached a link to the story in the local newspaper. More details and better reporting than the TV news outlet.

The Tribune Shark Attack Story

It sounds like a combination of not being in the water alone and lucky that it was a juvenile GWS. Also, a reminder that we share the water with these amazing animals and sometimes our paths cross. I am glad that the victim is going to recover, this could have been far more tragic.

Another Central Coast Shark Attack...

This time its a surfer right here in our home waters. Initial report says he was bitten in the hip by a juvenile Great White shark while surfing out at the sandspit. No update on his condition yet, just that he was airlifted to Sierra Vista Hospital. I will post an update as details come to light. Here is the media story from KSBY, not a great write up but better than nothing.
