What a wuss....
43 years ago TODAY!
JAWS was released.
And even though I was young and loved to swim and ride the waves, I did not go in the Ocean at the beach for the following 10 years any higher than my knees!And even then with great trepidation!

As the say goes:Along with Jaws came the reporting of movie earnings for the week. Suddenly we started measuring films by how they did at the box office. Hollywood moguls took notice and the quality independent filmmakers were shunned from the studio system.

I was fishing ten or so years ago with some SoCal buddies near the Channel Islands. This Great White minimally 15 feet long comes flying out of the water no more than 75 feet from us with an adult seal in its mouth shaking it violently and blood flying everywhere.
Our captain moved to another spot immediately - Fishing turns bad with one of those babies in the area.
Everyone on that side of the boat saw it - so it wasn't the beer![]()

When Matt and I used to live in Massachusetts, we always took a vacation this time of the year to Martha's Vineyard, to go to the JAWS fanclub type of reunion they had there every year around this anniversary time..... Matt's best friend was the head of a JAWS fan club when in high school and he has continued with it for the past 43 years and actually just wrote a book on Jaws....
The hubby has a collection of JAWS memorabilia second to none... much to my dismay, a whole room in our house dedicated to it.... though he has some really really cool stuff and everyone's signature from the film on one piece or another of it....
But anyway, the Martha's Vineyard JAWS reunions were fun and it was the perfect time of the year to visit there, before the fourth of July, when all the hotel prices double, for the tourists!
the Vineyard is the same as Nantucket, lots and lots of charm and old Victorian homes or classic cedar shake capes....down town shops and a few good beaches.... plus on the vineyard you can visit all the spots from the movie.....When Matt and I used to live in Massachusetts, we always took a vacation this time of the year to Martha's Vineyard, to go to the JAWS fanclub type of reunion they had there every year around this anniversary time.....

One of my favorite vacations was a fall leaf peak tour through Vermont and New Hampshire followed by a week on Nantucket. Fell in love with that island - SO much character!

Yep no lie, we talk about it to this day - It's permanently etched in our brains. Hasn't kept me out of the ocean though. Still love to surf and snorkel in the tropics. A professional diver once told me: "They're a whole lot more frightened of you than you are of them."
This is a really cool movie if you haven't seen. Based on the true story of champ surfer Bethany Hamilton who lost an arm.
