Seen it on the news.
Correction, the shark bit the motor, they showed the teeth scratches on it, looked like general scratching and no photo this day and age means pretty much it was a load of bull droppings.

something freeked them out


So nothing chewed thier motor,and , lifted the boat, as he physically showed and described it.

May be they took the old mans mandurahs crab boat for a run out along the cafe strip, were they tryed toen ins at dutchies ,hit the bottom ripped the mmotor out into the drink and fked it ,got rescued and blamed it on the poor old Great white

Can't pick the background of the image - where was it taken?? - and was it taken Friday?

The moral of the later posts - don't chain your motor to your boat!!!

Yes i was asking myself the same thing. Maybe he jumped in the water so quick his clothes just came off, or maybe something else!?

Gero for sure. Its the CHB wheat cells/silos in for background. To the right are all the storage sheds for Iron ore.

To the left are the Norfoke Pines down Marine Terrace.

I thought keeping your clothes on would help with warmth. Obviously no where near to the extent of a wettie but a little.
I guess there is a point when you no longer have the energy to tread water with clothes on.

I think it is pretty poor form of the news playing the video of him in the water. Not really fair on the poor guy who has just spent 20hrs in the ocean
