Sharks

this is a boat we rented to take us from our paradise island "karimun jawa" to another smaller paradise island where there are no inhabitants...we sat in the open air on the front of the boat...but on the way to the smaller island...
we stopped at this other little island (cuz there are 27 little islands in a chain) where fishermen have put these sharks in a pool with rock walls after they catch them in their nets.
everyone petted the sharks and greg felt that just wasn't enough...he needed to be closer
so greg being the wild, dangerous, and crazy person he is...jumped into the pool with the sharks after the natives told him he could. they said he would be fine cuz they feed the sharks well...he just needed to remain calm...they sense fear...so he laughingly climbed in and swam with the sharks! but funny...because they could smell his wildside...the sharks were scared of greg and wouldn't come too close...so i didn't get a good shot...this is the best i did...but there was a fish about the size of a dinner plate that came and started attacking greg and nipping at him...this scared greg a bit and he fought back but the fish wasn't about to stop so greg hopped out of the water before the fish bit him too bad!!!! we had a good laugh when it was all over!
and as you can see...greg made it back on the boat safe and sound with his mama right beside him and gavin so very calm too...
