San Diego or Amity Island?

Fatal Shark attack this morning at our local beach. Believed to be a 17 foot great white. An 8 mile stretch of beach (including the 2 beaches that are 5 minutes from our apt) is closed until monday. If you want more details go here.

Yesterday, my brother, Luke & I were at the beach one block away from where the attack happened. Luckily Luke is scared of the ocean water so we were on dry land the entire time. (How cute is he in this little Lifeguard outfit? Click on the picture and die from the cuteness) Interesting thing is, there was a helicopter flying about 20 feet above the water right over the breakers for the entire two hours we were there just making passes. Also a small spotter plane was doing the same thing only a little further out. Jeff & I thought the helicopter was looking for a shark. Then we started making jokes about cable junction and jaws. Looks like we were spot on. I think it's a big cover up. I think they were searching for a shark and that they knew a white was in the area but didn't want to panic the public. One week ago a baby white shark was found washed up on shore in that area. Then a helicpoter and a plane patrolling in the same area the day before a fatal shark attack. Coincidence? Hmmmmm. I think not.

There was probably a big 17 footer cruising by us just out past the breakers. Duh-da... Duh-da .... Duh-da duhda duhda duhda...... (that was Jaws music)
