The Peconic Puffin

A blog about a group of windsurfers and other water sports enthusiasts, and their friends. Established 1993.

"She's back!" Scott texted.

Yes she is.   Mary Lee, three thousand five hundred pounds of Great White Hell is coming for to eat you up.   The good people at OCEARCH track her and other sharks for the betterment of science.  'Cause sharks are really great.  Just look at the pictures.

In photo #2 a cheap windsurfer tries to grab a pair of masts that Mary Lee coughed up like a hairball.  Dude doesn't realize that if he pulls he's going to end up with two bottom pieces.  What, he's gonna stick his arms in her mouth to get the tops?

Anyhow Mary Lee was in Atlantic City yesterday, and is headed north.   While we've had some good ocean sessions at the Bowl and Ponquogue of late, methinks East Landing on the Peconic is sounding pretty good.

    I know they’re necessary, but sharks are damn ugly and I don’t like them.
