The high point of the trip was the 6-7 foot shark I saw swimming about 30 feet from the launch. Pretty cool! I am not sure what kind it was but it was definitely not a leo. It was grey with black at the tips of its fins. I was busy getting pushed into shore by the surf, so I didn't get a picture of it. I thought about swimming out to try and get a pic but I thought it would have swam off because it was headed north at a good clip. Any thoughts about what it could be?

I could have sworn I saw a salmon shark about 4 feet in length cruising with a leo in about five feet of water off the launch a few months ago.

I really wish I got a better glimpse or even a picture. Maybe I'll go out there after work tomorrow and chill in the same area waiting for it with my mask and snorkel and gopro with my yak anchored. It would be sweet to get a good shot of him up close.
