We see tons of sharks when we get to the Jacksonville area. I've straddled a shark with its fin out of the water between the hulls before. A couple years back someone nailed a shark with a dagger board sailing at about 22knts. Cut the stupid thing in half.

I've also shattered a dagger board by hitting a massive sea turtle, which doesn't go well with the conservationists. Tons of sea life is seen on this trip. In Savannah area there are monster jelly fish that kick up rudders and get caught on the dagger boards. The first half of the trip I've had flying fish hit me and land on the boat. The best is when pods of dolphins surround the boat and play with you

In the first Jaws (I think it was the first one) in one scene the shark comes into the harbor under a bridge. I have ridden a bicycle over the bridge a few times.
starting at about 2:45 is why I cannot give up sailing A-Cats. Best use of carbon ever.

I just looked out my apartment window. I can see two different cars stuck on the road, with a bunch of not stuck angry people lined up behind them. Wonder if they'll shut stuff down tomorrow and I can stay home.
My sister is more generous than me. She yelled out the window offering people shovels for people to dig themselves out. I was just holding a beer and enjoying the show.

Zappa-sailing-Jaws.....whatever.
The guy that dug himself out with our shovel moved about 10 feet and parked in a no parking zone. Streets are a mess.
