Shark Research with U of Miami

I had a wonderful opportunity today to join Curt and
the University of Miami Shark Research Program for
a day on the water.

It was certainly action-packed!! We caught a total
of 7 sharks, some of the highlights are below.

Hammerhead in the water...

And the tail gives a final splash!



We also caught a huge Lemon Shark - pregnant...




And the beautiful Black Tip Shark...





Also, on board today was prominent photographer Jim
Abernathy (I'm sure his photo's put mine to shame) and
world reknowned artist, Wyland.
Below are pictures of Wyland creatin art on Curtie...



It was such an exceptional day shared with great people!!
