I heard, years ago, that they don&#39;t come into the bay. Now all the people who never believed me when I told them that are going to think they&#39;re right. Some speculation is thaten-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/272147?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 16 Oct 2015 04:10:24 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:1fdb8922-d63b-4ad3-99ae-963e1b8638c4Gary PAs if the cold water wasn&#39;t deterrent enough!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/272139?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 16 Oct 2015 03:37:34 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:3ba3926e-a48d-4dc7-b6ab-de17d4007804fatboyWow! Amazing video/ This will give a lot more street cred to my Alcatraz Sharkfest Swims! I may have to re-evaluate doing any more! Before I did those swims I heard that the sharks generally do not come in the bay because of the brackish water (salt water/ Fresh water mix) but the are usually present outside the bay in the ocean. Since there are seals outside the bay the sharks don&#39;t usually come in the bay.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/272135?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 15 Oct 2015 07:46:27 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:47ac7189-7f99-4f46-a827-036f970523e6aqueoushumorDitto. The biologist they interviewed said they don&#39;t like humans and prefer seals. She said humans are pretty safe are as long as there are enough seals around. Very comforting!...But, what if they can&#39;t tell the difference. I have had more than one seal seem waaay to interested in me like I was new action are something.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/272129?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 15 Oct 2015 04:56:05 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:bac3ebdf-1b24-4f46-80aa-109a95db3123no200flyI&#39;m glad it wasn&#39;t there on August 8 - I am afraid I looked too much like a seal in my wetsuit:afraid:<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/272125?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 15 Oct 2015 01:28:51 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:11736c0d-3fb7-42cf-8ef7-fe466c8e2fc8mmlr38Evidently it&#39;s true!
