Another day at the beach.
This time we hung out at the Tiki Bar at the end of the pier at Coca Beach and watched the surfers below. I must admit they were pretty brazen. About a half hour before, and about a half mile down the beach, pretty much right in front of our chairs there had been a shark attack. A German tourist, swimming close to shore, received a significant bite just above his ankle. Heck, seaweed brushing against my leg in waist high water is worthy of attention let alone some fish 'scanning the menu' for dinner.
Birdman a la carte?
Elenka and I settled for a couple of rum concoctions and scanned the water from above for surfers mysteriously disappearing beneath the waves. No such luck though. As a matter of fact, I didn't even hear that spooky Jaws theme music playing in the distance.
duunnn dunn... duuuunnnn duun... duuunnnnnnnnn dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnn dunnnn!
Oi, that is so scary! I'm glad you are wisely staying high and dry.
ReplyDeleteWell, Dina, I think they might be both high but not dry, if they hang around the Mai Tiki Bar long enough.
ReplyDeleteI am not interested in being a snack for ocean creatures. I will leave that to the surfers.
ReplyDeleteI'm not generally scared of stuff like a shark attack two weeks and two hundred miles removed but I would have stayed out of the water in your situation.
ReplyDeleteYeah, one reason I don't go into the water. The other? Can't get my hair wet. Don't ask.
ReplyDeleteSo, now it's 42 degrees and raining....Bring me back to sun and 80's!!!!!
....sigh...
oh, yikes!
ReplyDeleteSince I saw this damned Spielberg's movie , I NEVER could swim without thinking of sharks!! One of my biggest fears , I must say..
ReplyDeleteI don't know, Birdman, I'm thinking there might be one or two "sharks" there at the bar. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat little Tiki Bar looks like the perfect place for a little something with rum in it.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you were really suffering down there in all that sunshine!
ReplyDeleteI'd be at the bar too!
ReplyDeleteLooks like quite a bar!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter how many times you hear that score cue by Williams... it still creeps you out.
I'm sure you must be missing Maine right now. This horrible weather, with temperatures in the high 80s and blue skies.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun place.
ReplyDeleteShark? In the water? Nearby? No thankee.
ReplyDeleteOuch...a souvenir, eh?
