BTW, a Great White typically swims at a few knots with max speed of 15-20 MPH. A Blue shark can attain 60 MPH in short bursts. Pretty amazing. Just ask "Two Bite Bob" for any info on how to evade shark attacks..... :-) CM |

The short fin Mako probably faster. Anyone who says
60 mph is exaggerating and guessing. "Capt.
