[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't go swimming near a fishing pier. I actually know someone who was bitten by a shark. She was swimming in an area where they were throwing chum into the water.[/quote]

That sounds like a gross place to go for a swim.[/quote]

So here's the full story of what happened. She was an adult, but it was before I met her.
She's a very sporty woman and a risk taker. She was swimming far out into the ocean and noticed sea gulls circling and decided to swim towards that. When she got close enough to the sea gulls she realized that it was a fishing boat throwing chum into the water, hence the sea gulls. A shark then bit her on her side and as it was swimming back towards her she punched it. The punch happened to land in its nose, which is the most sensitive part of a shark.
She said the most physically difficult thing she's ever had to do was swim back to shore with a big gash on the side of her abdomen. Once she got back to shore she collapsed on the beach.[/quote]

That's crazy. I think people who swim really far out in the ocean are nuts in general. She didn't try to get the boat to pick her up? [/quote]

Why do you think they're nuts? That's so foreign to me. If I see a picture of the ocean, all I can think about is swimming in it. It's probably the most peaceful and relaxing of my hobbies. [/quote]
