Six years ago my friend, Genny and I were kayaking in the
bay after work one summer evening
in Rainbow Channel in front of Somers Point, New Jersey (USA). It was
one of our favorite spots and it was a beautiful calm night. We paddle that route quite often beck then. She turned back
and looked at me and said, “Oh, no. Keep paddling.” I knew immediately by the
look on her face something was very wrong. She is not one to scare easily.
Shortly, a five or six foot shark
surfaced to my right about 10 yards between us the shore. Needless to say, I
was terrified. I was sure I was going to die and/or lose my faculties. We
continued to paddle for about a mile with this shark surfacing around us
frequently (We believe there may have been more than one.) I was afraid to look
in the water and kept my eyes straight ahead. She, on the other hand, is quite
inquisitive and kept looking for
it /them. At one point I looked down to my right as my paddle entered the water
and the shark’s dorsal fin was directly between us. I could have reached out
and touched it! I was speechless on that paddle that night and I was never so
terrified in my life. When I got to our destination, I dove out of my kayak
headfirst. The whole experience was surreal. Neither one of us could talk for
at least an hour. It was one experience I lived through that I will never
forget.
