Default 10 Deadliest Sharks

Two they missed: Republicans and Democrats.

Good show on the Discovery Channel on the
10 most dangerous sharks.

Showing again Dec 1st, 2nd, 3rd.

http://dsc.discovery.com/tvlistings/...=0&channel=DSC

10: Lemon Shark--8 feet, great night vision, likes shallow waters.
9. Blue Shark--8' - 13', Fastest shark.
8. Hammerhead Shark--Fastest turning, 7 senses
7. Sand Tiger Shark (Grey Nurse Shark)--10' - 14', found in numbers
around shipwrecks and plane crashes.
6. Grey Reef Shark--fights over food, attacks each other in mass
feedings
5. Short Fin Mako--6' - 12' Fastest shark. Exceptional jumpers
4. Ocean White Tip--best sense of smell, numerous, very hungry.
3. Tiger Shark--10' - 20' and will eat anything
2. Great White--14' to 23' long. Attack from underneath into the air.
1. Bull Shark--8' long. Found in fresh up to 300 miles up river and salt
water--even some lakes. They sometimes school in large groups. Many
previous attacks attributed to the Great White were probably Bull
Sharks
--the most deadly shark.

More information

I found it interesting that the ocean sharks are among the
most persistent and aggressive--because food is less abundant
offshore--something to think about.

I was also expecting the Bull to be #2 and the Great White to
be #1.

You definately don't want to go over the side
in the ocean. Tossing garbage overboard
and pumping out your holding tank might
actually attract sharks to your boat, and if they
are hungry, to follow your boat for many miles.

Fun eh?

I really wasn't planning on going overboard any time soon....and we probably
won't do much more than coastal cruise anyway since we're not set up for
offshore sailing at all...we'd have to either get a macerator pump or get
the y-valve replaced and we don't have a radar...there's nothing wrong with
coastal cruising...especially when you have wide open spaces like Pamlico
and Abermerle Sounds to explore....

Last I was in BVI, we had a 3 foot barracuda underneath the catamaran for
several hours. It seemed to like the shade, so at one point I opened up the
emergency hatch in the head and reached out and tried to grab the tail. He
sure didn't like that at all, but didn't get me. Still it stuck around for
hours.
