Beach Walk 62 - Have You Hugged a Shark Today?

There’s more to the story of Lexi deciding not to swim with me yesterday.h3. About Today’s ShowI followed on today with my curiosity when Lexi refuses to go in the water and swim with me. I think it is because she simply prefers to chase her ball. But, it does remind me of a woman on Maui who swam every morning, with her dog. Until one morning when she was eaten by a tiger shark. Strangely, her dog would not go in the water that morning.Sharks get a bad rap in my opinion. Here in Hawai’i, they are respected and loved, though declining in numbers.You can see (or buy) the BBC documentary about tiger sharks.Tiger Shark Attack: Beyond FearCheck out urban legends at www.snopes.comMahalo to Lana Petty, Guest Director today, assisted by Chris Nichols.
