I have just heard that there have been more sightings of a pretty big white pointer in Botany bay - is this true? Are people still windsurfing? Should I go there tomorrow if it's windy!?!

All good if you don't fall off.

I have been out here in Perth and wondered why there was such a small crowd. That nights news featured an article on the beach being closed due to sharks.

They are there all the time but this time someone has seen it.

I got sent back to shore by lifesavers in a little rubberducky cos someone up the beach had spotted a 2m shark. The day was cranking so I ignored the warning.

I figure a shark sighting isn't the same as a shark attack.

(either i'm having major deja vu or i've already posted about this incident. if it's the latter, I apologise)

Good time to make sure that your waterstarts are spot on? Perhaps double check that uphaul rope is sturdy?
