    About 30 years ago my friend Moshe and myself were camping on the beach – in Vero beach. In the morning as we got up we took a swim. I suddenly noticed 10-15 feet in front of me a FIN was circling. I slowly swam back to shore with my heart pounding. This episode brings back memories as I can never forget that experience.

    “As she swam NEAR…”
    She was 150 yards away from the shore. Of course she got bitten.
