My lifelong fear of swimming in the ocean is rational, and well-founded. I read about some horrific shark attack at least once a year, most taking place in Australia where it's apparently a national past-time to swim with Great Whites, and other death machines. Not me. I like the beach, and I like boats, but you will never catch me swimming in the ocean. Nope. 🦈
