The beach is supposed to be for relaxing.

A man wading in the waters off the coast of Florida had a close encounter with a hammerhead shark. Fortunately, the large animal apparently lost interest in the man, but not after appearing to charge towards him.

Our new hood! There are several of those videos floating around here locally.

1 of the benefits of crystal clear Gulf water. Although when it storms the gulf kicks up a fuss and the water gets cloudy.

I hate foxnews website design. Oh, I followed a link talking about a video and there's a large video a the top of the page with a picture of the thing I want to see. Let's click on it. Nope, GD unrelated news video. The video I want is buried two pages down in the story.

If you go on one of the big piers you can see all sorts of critters because the water is so clear. Monello and I took a helicopter ride over the Gulf and I will never go past my knees in that thing.

That's what happens when you intrude into a wild animal's habitat.

Here's another video. Not sure if it's the same shark.

Since the gulf water down here is so clear, I see those videos posted all the time on the PCB FB pages. Mostly taken by tourists looking out their hotel/condo window overlooking the beach.

Went there a few times when the Mrs. and I were stationed at Eglin from late 82 - late 86.
From the Google maps aerial photos, would likely not see much we'd recognize anymore.

It's changed a good bit since then.
