[QUOTE="Grey Panner, post: 664665, member: 15464"] The tide certainly goes out a long way on that part of the coast. Once, on Ninety Mile Beach, we walked out on the sand flats as the tide receded. When low tide was reached we turned and looked at the land. It was just a low blur on the horizon. We then had to step out briskly to stay ahead of the rising tide. It was an easy walk but I hate to think what would have happened if one of us had sprained an ankle out there as the tide was rising. One chap took his fishing rod out there and when he got to the edge of the shallows he baited his hook with a big fish bait and waded out until he was waist deep in the Indian Ocean. He was delighted when something huge took his bail and raced off emptying his reel in seconds. He said that he had always dreamed of getting "spooled" and now it had happened. I pointed out that it was probably a shark and that he was lucky it preferred the fish bait to human flesh. He replied that there had been no problem because in shallow water you can always see a shark coming. I told him that it is the one you don't see that gets you. I think we were both unwise to venture so far out on that notorious bit of coast. [/QUOTE]
