I was idly back-stroking parallel to the shore when I realised I was the only one still in the water. People up on the cliff were waving and calling, so I thought I should swim to shore. On the way in I bumped into rocks and hurt my legs . . then realised there weren't any rocks in such deep water. Dipping down below the surface, I found I was right next to a Basking Shark and had just swam over the top of it. I made it to shore in double-quick time and had to be helped from the water; couldn't speak and when I looked down I saw that my shins were bleeding. <br />After calming down, I was told that Basking Sharks only eat plankton - this one had been seen approaching, just drifting along the coastline. My legs had been grazed, not bitten, as I had feared, and I wasn't hurt at all. But I never went in the water for a long, long time after that!Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00914227535503925006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-47922292768231125492017-01-23T11:30:01.875-04:002017-01-23T11:30:01.875-04:00HAHAHA!
