'Jaws' on the prowl near Tauranga coast
A great white shark could be circling the Bay of Plenty.
Just over a week after two fisherman reported a "huge" great white near the Tauranga Harbour entrance, a surfer has said one cruised "very close by" while he was surfing with several others near Mt Maunganui.
"This shark was larger than a 12ft surfboard and had huge pectoral fins with a very large girth - and cruising water as shallow as 1.5m. Its demeanour seemed rather inquisitive and docile.
"I was left in awe at seeing such a magnificent creature so close to land and in its natural environment."

Another Quilt Finished
Last year we went on a holiday to the Cook Islands. While there I discovered a wonderful fabric shop and purchased some typical island prints to make this fish quilt.
Today my quilt hung with others on display at a garden party at a friend's quilt shop situated on their avocado orchard. A beautiful setting on a lovely summers day.
