I was watching the news this morning and saw a story about how there were thousands of sharks off the coast of Florida, right near Boca Raton and Singer Island. It sure was quite a sight to see so many sharks swimming so close to the shore. They were located about 50 yards from the shore. They are migrating presently and are drawn to the warmer waters here as this is the time of year when sharks migrate and head for warmer waters. Also, they are feeding off the bait fish near the shore. I love living here and all but I think I will be staying away from the beach for the next couple weeks just to be safe! Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

Wow! That's a lot of sharks! I wonder if they are already past now? You never really know what's out in the ocean, that's why I always feel safer swimming in my swimming pool than in the ocean.

Wow....that has to be scary. I think I would definately stay away from the beach too! We went to Hawaii once and my son was going to try surfing....well they went to a beach and right before they got there a shark had attacked someone....they moved to another beach of course!

Good idea and I would not get near it until you hear that all is clear. No point in putting yourself in harms way.. Do take care and stay away for a while.
