#200 - SHARKS! Part 2 (or SHARKS! SHARKS!)

oh man, what better subject for my 200th post but SHARKS!

so i finally got my underwater camera developed from the haleiwa shark cage tour i took this summer (read all about that awesome adventure here), but in case you missed it, here's the rundown:
the ohio girls... jill, tracy and reneecan you tell that i'm super fricken nervous right now, even as we're sitting in port at haleiwa harbor?we rode out 3 miles outside of haleiwa, was a fun boat right, could see all the way up both shores from kaena point to waimea bay, sweet.here we are getting our instructions, by now the sharks are already gathered around the boat and they're just waiting to drop the cage in the water... yikes!oh... man... check out those sharks!it was mad rough in the cage, we were getting tossed around and beaten up by the cage and by each other, it was hard to take these picturesi swear at least 10 times i thought my legs were gonna get sucked out through the bars of the cage and i'd be a coconut-flavored sunblock shark chewie toyas if the sharks weren't bad enough, we were also getting airborne attacks from these dumbass birds, they sat on the tops of the cage the whole time swooping in for little fish bits caught in our hair and landing their ugly-ass disgusting webbed feet on our headsbut after a few minutes of fighting the current and the snorkel it was way cool being in the water with all those sharks, there must've been at least 15-20 of them, all gray reef sharks, the biggest ones probably around 8 feet long, def.i mean, how awesome is that? go sharks!

ps - doesn't the word "sharks" look funny now?
