Surviving Sharks – ‘Bull Shark Beach’

Sunday, Dec 16th 2007, 3:45 pm The seven-hour boat ride to Walker's Cay was smooth and easy and lulled us all to sleep so that we arrived rested. We shuttled over to the island in a small boat and hung out on ‘bull shark beach,' which is actually formed of jagged coral with no sand to be seen, and chummed the waters for bull sharks. Only a handful of black tipped sharks showed up so we shot a sequence of me free diving (without scuba gear) with them. They tend to be a smaller and slightly skittish shark, as well as very beautiful and graceful looking. Today we tried our luck at another island, to no avail, and we are all currently holed up on the big boat watching bad weather come in. I plan on doing some remote recording of some of my songs on board the boat, and tomorrow we head down to Nassau and the reef sharks.
