Best not to court danger and stay out of the water when there are that many sharks around.

Needless to say other than a few crazy surfers...the surf was devoid of swimmers. It was very cold in Florida those 3 days fyi...mid 40's to high 50's...life guards say the crazy temps have really screwed up the sea life--they have seen more sharks (and portuguese men of war/blue bottles in this area in the past few years than they ever have. I obviously bring bad luck to the region...in addition to this shark swarm, I was on the beach fairly near this one when a 9 year old boy was killed by a bull shark over a decade ago (he was only up to his ankles--bullshark came in with a small wave-- and his dad saw the whole thing--body was missing for a day---then body parts washed up near same spot the next day!)...thus my very real (and understandable) shark phobia...I've seen too much...won't go in those waters.

How far do you think those sharks are from the shore. I can't tell with how far away the photo was taken. I have to know. Holy God, that’s chilling to see.
