They used to hang in Baja. BUILD A WALL!
Seriously. I go in the ocean way less than you and the last few years it's hard not to think about. Which also could be attributed to having little kids too. I've been more cautious about a lot of things since 2012.

We have reports of 4
We have reports of 4 different GW off the coast of central and south Florida this year. That is very odd. We would usually hear of 1 every 5 or 6 years. Last year I think they saw 2 separate ones. Something is changing in our oceans for sure. Our water isn't even cold.

Grew up surfing New England,
Grew up surfing New England, and esp. Cape Cod. Never any shark worries or sightings. When I moved to the WC (OR) I did worry - Red Triangle and all. Never seen one in my 40 years here - knock on wood - but I guess they have frequent sightings now on Cape Cod, a few attacks, patrols, etc.

On average, there are 16
On average, there are 16 shark attacks per year in the United States, with one fatality every two years.

More dangerous to drive to the beach than to get in the water. I blame Spielberg for people's irrational fear.

Why would I tell her? She's obviously not irrationally scared of sharks - she got in the water.

ender, i am highlighting an
ender, i am highlighting an extremely unusual occurrence.
since it happens to take place in the county and city in which i reside and spend a lot of time in the water, it is of interest.
if i was "scared" i would have gotten out of the water when the lifeguards alerted the pack that there was a shark 50 yards south of everyone. i kept surfing...
again, this is abnormal.
although there have always been sharks here....the influx of DOZENS of them is new...
i have personally seen them 2x+ in the water...
you can call it irrational if you want, does not take back that the 1st almost fatality ever in these parts happens to be at a place i frequent.
do you do any activity that puts you in contact with potentially dangerous wild animals?
