Hi Rob :z16

Interesting .... hmmm. look at the boat to the right, with it's bow waves and prop trail it looks a bit like the fish too. If you took this in to photoshop and used the blur tool a bit, it would look exactly the same as the "shark" :z4

I could be wrong of course and often am :wink

Cheers
Mike

I think the "monster" in the circle is a blow up of the boat on the right. And it is a boat.

Slack news time, I guess.  Nothing but the Oldham by-election otherwise. :grin

Can't be for real there'd be a notice up charging a quid to see the Dock Monster :z4 and a fellow in trainers a shell suit and curly hair with his hand out :z7.

Its not been photoshopped as it appears on Google Earth...unless someone at Google is having a laugh.

Could be a the wake from a boat, could be a Great White looking for Heather McCartneys other leg..who knows ;)

Looks like a jet ski or small boat starting off with the wake behind it.
