In the Florida Keys I had our family out in a 16 foot jet boat when my daughter spots a couple fins breaking the waters surface. We went to see the dolphins and it was a 12 foot hammerhead shark! The thing was as long as the jet boat, that will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

while we were in Destin this year for the worlds my self ad a few friends decided to swim out to the sandbar to watch the races a bit closer. as my one buddy waded in he got about to his waist and stoped and said " ya know i dont think i like not being at the top of the food chain anymore . . . you guys go on. i'm stay'in on the beach" we kinda laughed an gave him a bit of chit about it. the next day we watched the race from Jokers (Brian H) condo on the 14th floor and we could see a few dark and somewhat large shapes moving around in the shallow parts . . . . .we were told by a local that sharks and large rays are pretty plentiful there.
We went fishing on a 56' boat for cobia, and what we saw as we went from Destin to Panama city was plenty of sharks swimming close to shores, you could see them crystal clear as everyone was swimming close to the beaches. I will never , never go out to deep, it makes me somewhat nervous even when at crab island after the poker run. Jeff
