SUP paddlers beware! Based upon long experience on the West Coast sharks sometimes mistake very the very similar surf boards for prey. They have been radio tracking a number of great white sharks off the Maine for several years. Sixty individual great whites have been tracked since 2020. I'm not saying that using an SUP is inviting a shark attack but those using them should do some research and identify where the high risk behaviors are as well as what sort of ocean areas are most prone to having great white sharks.
Is it not an error to say that the Cranberry Isles are 15 miles off MDI? More like 1.5, I would say, from Bracy's Cove.
It IS an error, Nancy! Thank you so much. We've fixed it and appreciate it so much. That would be a long trip on the boat.
