By the way, I forgot to mention something
interesting. One reason the Short Fin Mako
is so fast is because it is warm blooded.

I then realised that I was wearing a thin gold necklace (as was the
fashion then), and this may have attracted it.
Pulled it off and stuck it in my trunks.
Barra did another few circles and swam off.


If you had a spear pole .... he would have been dinner on the first pass.


Very tasty fish! The best! And edible if they are not too large.

Never swum with any jewellery, even a watch since then.

Good idea.

Obviously, it's not an attorney.

Last I was in BVI, we had a 3 foot barracuda underneath the catamaran
for
several hours. It seemed to like the shade,

Let me guess .......... Cooper Island?

Actually, it was off Norman.

Every year we have anchored off Cooper we have had one under the cat
for the afternoon. I guess like you said they must like the shade.
I've seen big ones diving the wreck of the Rhone at 90 feet.

Yeh, I saw one there once a long time ago. It was huge. Made the one in the
pic look like a minow. I couldn't figure out how to tell my dive buddy it
was a barracuda, so I used the shark sign. :-)

Could it have been a Tarpon?

Lots of those in that area.
