27/09/2004: "SHARK BITES BOAT ....moments later, a ruined dinghy."
A WARNING that inflatable boats are not much use around sharks. Single cell inflatables are a temporary life raft at best. Good for a few hours or until the first shark sees it. All life rafts aboard cruising boats should be fitted with both electronic and explosive anti shark devices, especially for tropical waters where tiger sharks are more frequent. Too many people go missing without a trace.
See 26 June 2004 listing in ARCHIVES for detailed picture of "Tuffy" the sea dog (pictured).
