I heard the shark laugh

We went to Henley today and discovered the Henley Beach kiosk. We didn't know it existed. We had a rather nice cappuccino there.

All was normal until a helicopter came flying past. It was the shark patrol. And yeah, it started circling above the water. We have had an above average amount of shark sightings the past months. You hear about one on a daily basis at the moment and yesterday a man was killed by a great white (that's one like "Jaws") in Perth.

This whole shark thing became quite a circus because they try and escort it away from the beach. The audience was growing.

At one point there was the helicopter, two boats from the surf life-savers and one police boat. Oh, I forgot the little surf life-saving quad that was on the beach. I guess they are there just incase the shark tries to come on land...
