Exactly 20 days after my second operation. Brave enough, or again stupid enough, to go out to sea and find the big ones.
Hope this on breaks my bad luck. I need the confidence!
I have the whole attack in a sequence, should actually make a something of it some day.
Thanks Wilfred and Hennie, greatest days of my life with you guys.

Isn't it crazy seeing this in person?
Unfortunately, it seems you may have had the same problem I had on a similar trip: no polarizing filter to reduce the glare and give more impact to the shark.
Great timing on this capture. Way over-sharpened....not sure if you could have toned that down and still get some details in the water and shark. However, that is a once in a lifetime capture of that amazing creature.
The crew had been chumming the water for several hours. But no luck, the star of the show just wasn't to be found. Lynn had hoped the Great White could be filmed for her special on sharks.
"Hey Lynn!" shouted Tory her co-host from the other side of the deck, "maybe you should toss in a year's salary! I'm sure a bucketload of clams will get him to come out of his dressing room."
Lynn made a sour face at Tory's joke. It was a direct dig at how much more she made than him. She leaned over the railing to take one last look at the ocean's surface. At that moment, a crew member tossed some chum in and the great white broke the surface just a couple of feet from her face. Lynn sputtered out a profanity as she jumped and fell backwards on deck.
Holy crap! A sight like this would startle me out of my socks! This must have been a sight to experience, I'm sure. Great capture of the action - one I would personally not want to be physically close too.
