The story of the shark at the 7 Mile Bridge. 

Marc-  The last day of February was a strange one indeed.  I did the morning walk around the golf course on my own since Sue was feeling a bit under the weather so to speak.  The walk was fine.  I later tuned in for Mass online at St. Ignatius.  We later went over to Blackfin Marina for lunch and to watch the mid-day rematch of the NY Rangers vs. the Boston Bruins.  Michael's addition of a sunshade outdoor umbrella to the boat side picnic table made it much nicer.  The best was a Bruins win of 3-1.

I have saved the best for last.  Michael and Doreen drove down to the 7 Mile Bridge and visited the old railroad bridge section now used as a fishing pier.  The met one of the fisherman using live bait.  He hooked a shark while they were there.  The shark won the battle since no wire lead had been used on the fishing line (see the video for the action).
