 Feeding the Dolphins
In a related incident, a reader says, "I'm on active duty in
the US Coast Guard, and I was stationed In Destin, Florida in 1995. On
routine patrol, I noticed a lady standing in four feet of water, 75 feet
from the beach, waving baitfish around. I thought she was feeding the
dolphins, which is illegal in Florida, so I pulled up alongside her to
advise her of the infraction. I looked down, and realized that the tails
on these creatures were moving side-to-side, as opposed to up-and-down like
a dolphin. Also, none were coming up for air. This misguided lady was
feeding a school of sharks! When she realized she was surrounded by ten
sharks, she turned white as a ghost, and jumped into my boat before I knew
what had happened! The guys back at the station got a good laugh out of
that one. By the way, I was also called out on the case above, called,
Swimming With Dolphins.
