NC / SC beaches

There are literally millions of RVers camping at this moment on SC, and NC beaches. There was a shark attack near the Rodanth KOA today around 4 PM. There was a shark attack yesterday near Avon NC. In fact in the past week there have been 5 (FIVE - V) shark attacks on the NC, and SC coast. In knee deep water, saw a pic of one yesterday in a tidal pool with sand on both sides of it.

I know the water looks great, It is cool, and fun to ride the waves. But for some reason this year. You are NOT alone. Use some common sense. Do not feed the fish. Stay out of the water.

WHY is it happening this year? Don't have a clue. It just is. Stay out of their way.

Me? They gonna have to learn to walk to get me. Toe deep is all I'm getting. I won't even wade thru the swash between PirateLand, and Lakewood

So far in NC there have been 6 shark attacks this week.2 young men lost limbs and according to my buddy that lives In Wilmington, they were lucky not to have lost their lives. It would make me a little nervous
to get into the water at this time..

We have been watching the reports... My daughters both got 10'-6" SUP's this year and are not sure they want to use them.... So far the attacks have not been fatal , that's a good thing.
I will be just north of OC MD in a few days on the water for 5 days

Animals are in the water and animals are on land that can kill humans... Its not their fault...

They were here first....

So the Deer says " hey when we go near that house we are getting shot at... Never happened before. Whats going on? Humans deer, humans"...

It's happening farther north, too. A hammerhead shark (possibly two) was spotted at the beach in Ocean City MD.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good beach umbrella? I'm staying on the beach and out of the water.
