She TOUCHED A Shark! | Sailboat Story 40

Tambi really surprised me when she touched a SHARK!

Lots of fun. There are so many of them! In fact I didn’t realize how large nurse sharks get… many of them are HUGE!

Now, here’s a little thing that I learned. Nurse sharks can bite you. Initially, I thought they were just like big catfish that ate stuff off the bottom. While this is true, many of the things they eat are, fish and crustaceans, so these sharks do have a mouthful of teeth. While very rare, they have been known to bite people.

Of course, I learned all this immediately before jumping in the water with them. We’re all happy to report that we were no bit by sharks while swimming amongst them.

While on Compass Cay, we also go for a bit of a hike, and check out this cool little place called Hester’s Gym. It’s a bit run down, and has really been roughed-up from passing hurricanes, but it’s still a neat little place to check out.

Thanks for watching!!
