Swimming with the Great Whites (part 1 of 3)


I tried to swim with the great white sharks three years ago when I was in South Africa for the FIFA World Cup (this is a big, world-wide soccer tournament my American friends). The weather was terrible for our reserved day so it didn't happen. Today was perfect.


They gave me a sweet orange rubber jacket. I asked if I could keep it. The answer was, "No." :(


My bother (in-law) and I putting on the wetsuits. The water is flippin' cold in the Indian Ocean; hoodies and booties.

Due to the slow internet in Cape Town, this is all I can show you tonight. I am tired, smell like chum (cut up fish) and need a shower. More tomorrow on this same Bat Channel.
