Shark Mait

Do you know what would be a great. If all the guys with shows on the Discovery Channel had to go out to track wild animals with their mothers!

This evening we went up to North Creek to watch the nurse sharks mate. We got a heads up that yesterday there were a bunch of sharks right off of the shore at the mouth of the creek.

We went at high tide and there were in fact several sharks swimming around near the shore in very shallow water. Though I told everyone to bring snorkel gear. Only Davis and I did. Deneen thought I was joking.

Have you ever tried to watch sharks mate with someone yelling, "That's too close."

"There's one coming right toward you."

"Davis, you are too far out."

"Davis, I said you were too close."

Well, it is very cool to see nurse sharks mate. Davis and I were able to get within a couple feet of two. The nurse sharks come into very shallow water where their fins are sticking out. Then they flip over upside down. When they complete the process they swim off very fast as if in a frenzy.

It was so cool that we are going back tomorrow.
