I had an feathery experience while swimming in the ocean...at the beach in front of my house is a rock which, at high tide, I dive from. I swim a set number of strokes out, then swim back in.
So I've done about ten of these out and backs, and am feeling pretty winded. After swimming out again, I float on my back, recovering. An eagle dives down and swoops over me, about a metre above my body...I could see his belly, talons, tail feathers, etc so clearly! But it also spooked me! Thank goodness he didn't think I was a salmon...

Just found out it was a Great White Shark - Rejean Lacoursiere found the picture of the shark that his brother Jean Guy took. It was taken just as we came out of the breakwall. On closer inspection, it is Johnny Lacoursiere in this shot, I can tell by the Hurricane goggles he is wearing. The Shark then slipped in behind me and followed me for the rest of the race.
