Coming out of Shark River Inlet I made a left turn and started fishing for fluke off Avon Beach. I heard whistles blowing and saw everyone getting out of the water looking toward me. I noticed two dorsal fins swimming side by side fifteen feet from the stern of my eighteen foot boat. Low and behold there were two hammerhead sharks twelve feet long swimming around my boat. I backed down to get a better look and my fishing line became tangled in the propeller. I pulled the motor up and started to untangle the line. All of a sudden the motor dropped down throwing me into the water. The sharks were eight feet away from me! I bust my butt trying to climb up the engine to get into the boat. As I was doing this the lifeguards were coming out on there lifeboat to help me. But I succeeded to climb in the boat. My bathing came down and I accidently mooned the two lifeguards.
Found out years later when sharks are mating they swim in sync with each other and are not much of a threat when they are doing this. Thank god for love!
