I'm not quite sure what was being defined, but I saw a shark in the water today and it was ... choose your expletive (because sometimes there's nothing like an expletive) ... brilliant. We were about 200 metres from the shore and in about two metres of water with coral reef all around us. Some two meters or so in length, it came to within about 3 meters of me. Reef sharks are not dangerous - on the whole - but I was still glad when it moved away. We'd seen a large turtle earlier and followed it for quite a while, but that shark will live in the memory for a long time. Magic.
