Shark!

BloodysharkIn one of those curious coincidences that turns into a treat for the girls, we drove back into Jervis Bay this afternoon (where we’ve been staying since Thursday night) at the same time as the official weigh in for the “White Beach fishing competition”. They were catching Meiko sharks, and when we arrived they were hoisting the winner – a 143 kilo fish about 8 foot long. The girls were fascinated to see it all going on, and especially when it ghoulishly starting dripping blood from its mouth when it was lowered from the scales. It was all a long way away from a Friday afternoon at home!
