Shark Alarm

Once every couple of years a shark attack along the WA coast is reported. This year two attacks happened at about the same time here in Perth and in Sydney yesterday. While the two kayakers in Sydney where rescued by a boat, the man snorkelling for crabs just south of Perth is still missing. This story even made it to the German news: link.
After we went for a swim in the ocean this morning we saw two helicopters circling over the beach. Then the shark siren sounded and we watched while everyone came running out of the water. I never witnessed a shark alarm before and watched with excitement. But I am glad that there are shark patrols along the beaches and I think especially after a recent attack they are extra cautious.
