Your Survival Guy heard that the largest great white shark ever recorded is heading north towards the Cape, reported MSN.com:
The largest great white shark ever discovered in the Atlantic Ocean was spotted for the first time in months and is most likely heading toward Cape Cod and then the eastern coast of Canada, according to a group that researches the apex predators.
The 14-foot, 1,700-pound male shark named “Contender” was last spotted near the Outer Banks of North Carolina and is believed to be heading north towards the popular Massachusetts summer destination, according to OCEARCH’s shark tracker.
This got me thinking as I stood on the bow of our boat last weekend, considering going for a swim.
I know, the odds of getting attacked by a shark are about the same as being struck by lightning. But I know or have heard about a friend of a friend who’s been struck, and I’m sure you have too. So, thinking about the “odds” isn’t helpful to me.
I jumped in anyway, but I still couldn’t help thinking about what might be lurking below the surface. It’s hard not to.
Now, the largest great white I’ve ever seen attack a boat was in the movies. And it’s around this time of summer that I always watch parts of the movie Jaws. I don’t know why, I just do.
Action Line: When it comes to investing, we spend a lot of time worrying about stuff that’s lurking below the surface. Worried about stuff that may never happen. That’s the nature of the beast.
