I Hereby Declare This “Shark Weekend”
Ok… another one. This time, a male surfer got bit on the left calf by a shark at New Smyrna Beach this morning.
The man, whose name has not yet been released, was treated at Bert Fish Memorial Hospital. Volusia County Beach Patrol Capt. Jack Driskell said the man needed stitches.
This is the second shark bite at Smyrna this weekend. On Saturday morning, a 21-year-old man was bitten on the right foot while swimming in the same area of New Smyrna Beach. He was treated and released from the hospital.
And last Sunday, a 14-year-old girl was also bitten on the foot by a shark while surfing in the same area.
That makes EIGHT shark bites in Volusia County so far this year.
Not to mention the fatal attack in San Diego on Friday.
See ya at the pool.

“See ya at the pool.”
No kidding!!!
God, people are so stupid! Markus is there any way you can tell how many shark bites there have been at New Smyrna since you started your blog? Its a lot!!!
which area?
I swim at Canaveral Nat’l seashore all the time. It’s just south of NSB. Sometimes I just sit there on the beach and look for sharks. I’ve never seen one thus far – but I know they’re there. I can feel them looking at me.
Anyway, I do still swim there albeit not as far from shore as I do when I’m further north in Volusia and Flagler.
Chlorinated pools people, that’s the way to go.
-you go in the water. Shark’s in the water. Our shark.
-Farewell and adieu to you, fair Spanish ladies. Farewell and adieu, you ladies of Spain. For we’ve received orders for to sail back to Boston. And so nevermore shall we see you again.

-Boys, oh boys… I think he’s come back for his noon feeding.
