Duxbury Beach was closed to swimming after a confirmed Great White Shark sighting. A source tells me that there may be two sharks. The confirmed sighting was down around the third crossover.
A whale carcass is floating near Brant Rock, and porkers like to feed on them. We could end up with more than two sharks if someone doesn't tow that ish out to sea.
The good news is that, with unlimited whale meat handy, the sharks will have full tummies and should have little interest in devouring humans.
A sunfish added to the confusion. Apparently unaware of the apex predator at the third crossover, he was flopping around about 20-100 yards off the Public Stairs.
When looking at this weak picture I took of him, understand before complaining that this was the best of the dozen that I took.
None of these creatures are unusual for the area.
Duxbury closed the beaches to swimming indefinitely. Cape Cod generally shuts down for just an hour for a sighting, but Duxbury:
1) is not as accustomed to GWS sightings as Wellfleet is,
and
2) unlike somewhere along the lines of Eastham, Duxbury isn't dependent on tourist dollars.
We'll be back with an update if need be.
Hang in there!
