It Looks a Little Sharky Out There, Doesnt It?

Fun note:

Krissy and I got to the beach today (Its been HOT - a balmy 92 today, or so) as we do every day, to find big signs everywhere indicating that the beach was closed. What??

Turns out, there was a shark sighting right off main beach in Byron Bay.

Rad.
Now, we spoke quickly to the Surf Lifesavers, and they said there was undoubtedly a shark out there, however declined to indicate what the breed or size may be.

Just throwing out a guess here, they wouldn't close all of Byron Bay's beaches for a little reefie.

Yikes!

The good news is that the Lifesavers are there, did see it, and had the water clear. They were monitoring from both the beach in their buggy, and the water on a jet-ski, apparently attempting to encourage it to move back out to deeper water.

Are we going to be a bit nervous next time we surf, probably tomorrow? Yup.
