Great White Sharks In San Francisco Bay!

According to a tracking study of the migration patterns of Great White Sharks conducted by Stanford University's Hopkins Marine Station, the big guys occasionally dash into San Francisco Bay for a quick visit. Like other tourists, they seek out the local cuisine.



I wonder what is on the menu?



Is this a shark delicatessen?



The sea lion population has exploded. They are everywhere up and down the coast. This past weekend I saw packs of sea lions swimming off of East Beach chasing fish. No wonder the big teethed beasties are making lunch dates in the bay.

The Oasis of the Sea is the world's largest cruise ship.
Doesn't she look appealing? Cough, cough, cough!



The Oasis of the Sea is five times larger than the Titanic, the $1.5 billion ship has seven neighborhoods, an ice rink, a small golf course and a 750-seat outdoor amphitheater. It has 2,700 cabins and can accommodate 6,300 passengers and 2,100 crew members.
