Tell us mate when U have such an experience - all I know is my bud planed on the water when a hippo surfaced next to the canoe ... I have never seen a guy row that fast !!!
Had a close call in Gaansbay harbour once sitting on a crayfish bakkie catching maarbankers when a Great white of about 3-4 meters nailed a seal in the harbour next to our "boat" we ended up sitting there for about 30min waiting for the shark to finish off his snack and move out again.
Forget the new undies i had to get splinters removed from my backside I almost chewed a hole in the bottom of the bakkie. Just weird the sharky took a big chunk out of the seal and then just circled it and left it to bleed out before finishing it.
