 The following appeared in yesterday's Space Coast Daily:

BREVARD COUNTY •  MELBOURNE BEACH, FLORIDA – A 28 year-old Melbourne Beach resident was transported to Holmes Regional Medical Center in stable condition Thursday evening after suffering an apparent shark bite while surfing.

The unidentified man told rescuers that he was about 50 feet from the shore line when the bite occurred.
As he paddled out, he reportedly felt something grab his hand as it entered the water and, after pulling his hand free, then saw what he described as an approximately 5-foot-long unidentified shark swimming away.

Should you avoid the water? Nah - just be on your guard, folks. The ocean temp is so warm it will probably
attract more sharks this year...
