Why be afraid? That shark isn't all that big.

The Kayak is around 8 feet long which puts the shark at only 16 feet. They just don't eat as much as you think they can.[crazy]

its not the length of the shark.. or how big it around.. or the fact that it MAY not be hungry.. its the fact that its mouth is big enough to swallow me and that kayak whole.. and that is a thought that could end getting the water really brown and murky.. [Tongue]

[size 1]It is just that I am vain enough to be partial to all of me and I don't want to give any of it to a shark even though legal sharks have already had their way with me.[/size]

Only the legal Sharks can bite off more than they can chew. Somehow they manage to come back for more bites even with a full stomach.[pirate]
