STAY OUT OF THE WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHARKS. SUMMER. FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND. Remind you of anything???


Maybe the town of Amity, say 1975, right around this time of year... That's right you guessed it JAWS!!!!!!! All the stars are aligning, there's some bad juju out there. If you remember back to last summer we had some great whites hanging around the coastal waters off the cape. Well guess what, they're back!!! A juvenile shark was caught about 20 miles off the cape and that was enough for the Coast Guard to issue a shark warning for the fourth of July weekend. The warning is aimed at boaters and paddlers and not so much at beach goers. They are still reminding swimmers to use common sense and stay out of the water where seals are present. So long story short we are in no danger here, unless that is you're into SUPing, great whites love SUPpers!!!!



I found these JAWS quotes on Yahoo and they are still awesome 35 years later.

Mayor Vaughn (speaking to Chief Martin Brody): Martin, it's all psychological. You yell barracuda, everybody says, "Huh? What?" You yell shark, we've got a panic on our hands on the Fourth of July.

Brody (to Mayor Vaughn, after the shark attack on July Fourth): Larry, the summer is over. You're the mayor of "shark city." These people think you want the beaches open.

The always salty Captain Quint: Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down the pond chasin' bluegills and tommycods. This shark, swallow you whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin', an' down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant.

Matt Hooper (smarty-pants ichthyologist): Mr. Vaughn, what we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks, and that's all. Now, why don't you take a long, close look at this sign (showing a drawing of a tiny Mayor Vaughan beside a giant shark).

Hooper: Those proportions are correct.

Mayor Vaughn: Love to prove that, wouldn't ya? Get your name into the National Geographic.

Mayor Vaughn (to reporter): I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time. Amity, as you know, means "friendship.''

Brody: You're gonna need a bigger boat.
