    Two Russians and a French ... not a joke ?

    I did chuckle a bit



    "Two Russians and a French citizen were sailing from Vanuatu to Cairns" While it sounds like the start of a joke happily, they lived to tell it!!

    Three men have been plucked to safety after their inflatable catamaran was attacked by sharks and began sinking in the Coral Sea off the Queensland coast.

    A 9 Metre inflatable? We did and DO use inflatable or Semi Inflatables Ours move fast usually!

    "Inflatable sailing catamarans are not unusual. But ocean-crossing inflatable cats are."

    Typical "wowser" news headlines didn't mention it was cookie cutter sharks which are quite small and also known as cigar sharks, but do seem to like biting rubber/neoprene.

    That little 'cookie cutter shark' is very cool. I have caught a fish with the right bite mark once

    News headlines are almost always CLICK BAIT which fits the cookie cutter shark to a tee

    DO NOT FALL FOR IT
