The sharks are slowly headed north .... Ocean Isle, Oak Island, Surf City, Avon ... I sense a pattern.

another attack in waves today...wtf!
my wife just asked me "are you sure you wanna take your board this year?"
i'm thinking i'd be safer on it based on the six attacks.

7 foot sand tiger shark caught on the outer banks . . after releasing it, the ocean pretty much emptied of swimmers.

The man was swimming when he encountered a gray shark, approximately six to seven feet long. The shark pulled the man under the water and bit him multiple times on his rib cage, hip, lower leg, and both hands, according to Hyde County EMS.
"Mr. Vaughn, what we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks, and that's all."
I'm glad I vacation in SC. Swimming at NC beaches is so expensive. It costs an arm and a leg.
Heading to Seabrook first week in August. Not any more worried about sharks than usual, which is to say I am still scared to death of them.
Another shark attack today, this one at Isle of Palms County Park . .
A young 12 year old boy was lucky to escape with just some minor injuries . .

Minor???
You see anything that needs stitches . . . ?
Or are you in one of those 'I wanna be argumentative' kinda moods' . . ?
Yep, those are definitely minor wounds, a little dab of Neosporin and that young man is back in the water next week . . anything more than that would be melodramatic.
Wow. Sh*t just got real for me because I was on Isle of Palms 2 weeks ago - when the Oak Island attacks happened.
It doesn't look minor to me! It looks like stitches were to follow!You see anything that needs stitches . . . ?

I've cut my hand and leg that required stitches, drove myself to the hospital and back home. No overnight stay was needed. If, this young man needed stitches for a couple of the worst bite wounds he received, he likely was able to go home that day.
So yes, I do consider it to be a minor injury. Unlike the 2 kids who 3 weeks back lost an arm and/or had severe leg wounds.
so yeah, its not a big deal to me.
Got real for me too because my family just came in to some property on Isle of Palms....
My theory is, the sharks are finally as sick as the rest of us of the yankee infestation in OBX and many other North Carolina beaches.....
Population control, perhaps?

Going to Wrightsville this weekend. Think I'll pick up one of these and do some bodysurfing.

$10 and pack of gum will buy you a moo fan who'll pose in it. Waist deep surf and a bucket of chum to spread about for effect should make for some realistic shots I imagine. Heck just film it. I'd buy a copy.
