This was only knee-deep - You can see the bottom in the right hand corner...Might wear my chainsaw chaps next time. Fighting off sharks for a handful of junk and loose change - Must be an easier way!

Don't worry. Heh heh. Was only about a metre and a half long anyway. The Herald would probably stretch it to 5m and have it snatching dogs off the beach! Very common up this way in summer to see them cruising the shallows in the mornings - never had any issues with them, I think the PI output gives 'em a headache if they get too close. Quite pleased with the pic as it's rare for me to a) have a camera, and b) be able to get it out quick enough to get a pic.

Gives a hole (bad pun i know) new meaning to extreme golfing. I wonder when they get to that hole if they should shout "FIN" instead of "four". They said they were bull sharks so i wonder if "Tiger" woods has played there..... Yeah yeah, i know, bad jokes, but someone's gotta put 'em up. :)
