I too am a believer! Leopard sharks are pretty common around this area. I
volunteer weekends at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the leopard sharks are
pretty tame there (of course, they're pretty well-fed too). I've never
heard of one being so curious and swimming close to humans, though.

The only time I've seen sharks while sailing was the east coast of Florida
- they would ride the waves (intentionally or not I don't know) just
outside the break zone with their fins coming out of the water right in the
face of the wave. Made me a little nervous water-starting!
