Dear Karen
What in the world was I thinking? :)
Made the mistake of watching a CNN story about "the summer of sharks." Apparently, they are closing beaches in Massachusetts, New Jersey and Florida due to Great White spottings in water as shallow as 3 feet. According to the story, the sharks usually don't show up this early... it's usually more like SEPTEMBER when they start showing up to eat the local surfers.
A related story says if a shark is heading your way, do not panic and do not swim away. Sharks can sense panic and it gets them excited. Stay where you are and if possible, hit him on the nose.
I will have to practice that at home, I guess. I'm also going to spend the next month enjoying things I can do with two legs, since I probably won't have one of them when I get back from surf camp.
Other than the part where I fight a great white shark and stuff, I am excited about next month. See you soon, Karen!
Love
Carey

NO SHARK WEEK!!! She is NOT allowed to watch, Cher.
Hopefully, the sharks will go for the bigger meals, and we'll be safe. :-)

i plan to dress like a sea snake in full body yellow and black. sharks don't like sea snakes.
you can bet when i am paddling in and out, my body will be on that board. my strategy is no dangling appendages.
