WHILE SURFING AT AVO, I WAS GLANCED BY A LARGE ANGRY STING RAY WHO CAME TO THE SURFACE WHILE I WAS SITTING ON THE OUTSIDE. NOW, IVE BEEN HIT 3 TIMES BY SMALL RAYS (ONLY ON THE INSIDE) AND IT IS DEFINATLY ONE OF THE WORST PAINS I HAVE EVER FELT. SO YOU CAN IMAGINE MY GASP AS I SEE THIS THING CHARGE TOWARDS ME AT MACH 1. AS IT GOT CLOSER, MY "EL GATO"LIKE REFLEX TOLD ME TO PULL UP MY FEET, AND AS I DID, THE LITTLE BUGGER BROKE THE SURFACE AND PITCHED OFF TO THE LEFT OF MY LEG AND ARM. SCARY. I GOT A PRETTY GOOD LOOK AT IT. IT WAS THICK AND WIDE! APROX 2FT. WIDE AND THE THING MUST HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 4" THICK!
ALL IN ALL, NO HARM NO FOUL.
THE FUNNY THING WAS, ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER, I HAPPEN TO SEE A BIG SPOTTED SEAL WITH A RAY IN ITS MOUTH, MOTORING BACK OUT WITH ITS HEAD ABOVE WATER. SOMETHING I HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE! NOW I DONT HOLD A GRUDGE AGAINST THE RAY FOR THE HASTY FLY BY THREAT, AFTER ALL IM IN HIS HOUSE. BUT IT DOES SEEM LIKE A LITTLE POETIC JUSTICE THAT THE SEAL WAS HUNTING THE RAY'S... THANKS MR. SEAL.
...thankyou doctor evil.
