Today's surf (shark) report

[scooterbug44]

I got to see that nest hatch last year!

Call came in and it may be the fastest we've ever left a bar! I think there were still full drinks on the table! :rofl:

Great foto Ash, good thing there wasn't a big tent, beach chairs, or other overnite crap

Just to the right of the photo was a big hole that would have nearly swallowed up even a leatherback. I spoke with the renter about it and he said it had been there for days. I filled it in.

There was a guy setting up chairs that didn't seem to care that the turtle track was there. He got hollered at for walking right across the trail looking for the next spot to set up umbrellas and chairs. I need to add that he was good after that.
I also heard that there are some folks setting up chairs who do not like the turtles because it makes them work a lot harder now having to take down their equipment at night.

Mr surf's surf report:

Wednesday mid-day report NOON 8/6/08: Lib & I & some friends went out earlier this morning & caught some small but really fun longboard waves (clean /mostly knee to thigh but an occ. waist high peak would slide in). The water is incredibly EMERALD/BLUE/GREEN & SUPER CLEAR! I went out on the SUP w/Tim & the visibility was AWESOME! We saw a HUGE Sea Turtle & some BIG SHARKS! One swam right under Tim & I (about a 12 footer). For all you folks PARANOID about Sharks - he came right up to me & I almost got to pet him. He just grinned & went on his way -IT WAS SOOOO COOOL! There were some BIG Jellies also, so watch out.

That sounds not so cool!

On behalf of Hop, who probably went surfing and left his computer on, he was quoting Mr. Surf.

thanks NoHall...i personally would not have hung around with a 12 footer...:leaving:

I saw that nest hatch, too. Coolest thing I'd seen in a long time. Hope I hear about it this year. Your picture of the nesting is fantastic.

okay, hoppy-baby, I figured out you were quoting Mr. Surf, but who the hail is Mr. Surf and where was he surfing?

Funny that petting sharks should come up. My son asked me last night if I wanted to go to Australia. For $2850.00 you can go diving with the Great White Sharks. Sounds like a dream come true. He has been watching shark week and is all hyped about it.

For $500, I will tie a bloody Rump Roast to your leg with a rope and you can paddle out to the second sandbar on a boogie board for some close up action.


Toots, Mr Surf reports are typically out of the PCB area.
