| Travel piece on the Bahamas, Nassau.
It had the look and feel of the quintessential beach thriller blockbuster.
The sharks swirled a mere oar’s distance from our goggle-clad faces in the crystal blue waters off the Exumas, excited by the fish entrails flung out by our tour guide, an ebony-skinned Bahamian diver. Then, as if on cue, a handful of stingrays appeared, moving lithely between half-a-dozen sharks. The whole situation, coupled with our guide’s devil-may-care attitude, put the perfect finishing touch to our disaster scene.
