Sailing by the Farallons with Heather - Meet Stumpy

Nat - Oooh, look, here's the cutest sea lion ever poking its head out of the water
Heather - it's going to be eaten. It's shark season

Nat - Oooh, a seal heading for the boat!
Heather - yes it's probably going to hide under the boat and leave us right by the islands. The sharks can't see them if they are masked by the hull
Nat - er, does this mean that they will attract sharks? I mean should we be sailing around with shark food?
Heather - no, we probably look like a shark from below, we should be fine

Heather - let's get close to the Farallons, it's Great White shark season. We can see them jump out of the water!!
Nat - with my luck, they'll land back on deck

Nat - do sea birds get eaten by sharks?
Heather - oh yeah. Sharks eat anything, they're a top predator

Nat - Oh, I think that's a fin. No, wait. It kindda moves like a fin but it's a really weird looking fin. must have gotten this wrong
Heather (looking) - Oh! No, it DOES move like a shark. It's probably Stumpy!
Nat - who?
Heather - Stumpy! It's a well known shark that hangs out here. I think its fin got fouled in a prop and it looks really funky now. I can't believe I may have just seen Stumpy! It's a huge shark
Nat - ahem...a * huge * shark.

Heather - you know, these sharks are as long as Elise is. 20+ feet
Nat - oh really. great to hear.

Nat - another cute sea lion!

Heather - Stumpy will get it

Heather - I love going to the Farallons. I went cage diving here once
Nat - isn't that a little dangerous?
Heather - oh no, cages are pretty solid, probably more solid that Elise's hull.
Nat - gulp!
