COOL sighting, i am sorry that you did not have your camera.

A few yrs ago after hurricane Ivan, we were near the airport looking at a boat that had burned and saw a shark just kind of sharking around looking for something to do. He/She was at the surface a few times and we could see the fin.
Dh blamed that shark's appearance on the bad weather conditions a few days prior.

So many folks would have LOVED to have seen what you saw.
Others....................no way.

Thanks for telling us.

We went back to the dock and I asked the attendant what type it was,,,,he was a little hesitant and then finally said,"oh, you saw our lemon shark that has been swimming around our reef." Just then a little girl about 10 came up and said she saw the shark too. So i knew I wasn't crazy. I have seen sharks in the water on other islands before but this was my first for Aruba.
