Sharon Nearly Eaten by Barracuda --News at 11

Saturday, April 5, 2008 -- Waterlemon Cay, St. John, USVI

Day 7 of snorkeling and we finally saw the elusive sea turtles. We were in our happy place, gracefully floating over the sea turtles when I turned to my right and saw a barracuda that was about 4 feet away and about 5 feet long.

I looked at him and he at me and I'm not sure if I swam to the shore or I shot straight up out of the water and made a 90 degree mid-air turn to make it over to the shore. But I ended up with skid marks on my knees from sliding into the beach.

Either way, I decided that was enough snorkeling for the day.
