I did get your message, I believe you that it was a "Great White"
why else would they close a beach. nurse sharks are docile. Although 
Marine mammals are my special interest when I decided to start diving I 
did alot of research about sharks.  Great whites scare me but not 
enough to keep out of the water, some areas I will avoid like Bodega 
Bay.  I've had two friends have close calls with great whites there.
That's also a prime area for seals and abalone.
 
Well, talk to you later, and I hope you get your modem working 
properly.
