We're in the midst of a little excitement down here, literally just off the coast.

Great Whites are migrating south for the winter as usual, and two of them have decided to park themselves off Jacksonville Beach (just north of Ponte Vedra Beach) for a while:

Mary Lee is a 16 1/2 ft, 3,500lbs mature female white shark, and she is way, way, way, way too close for comfort.

Her most recent position is off 6th Ave S and 1st St. S in the surf break off Jacksonville Beach, FL.:

BTW, her "friend" is hovering from about 50 to 200 miles out.

Both sharks have been tagged electronically, which makes all this rather exciting to track:
