It was a bit dicey because my ribs started to poke out after the ski crash there, but tonight it was back into the pool for old Mako. Only 25 minutes. Nothing to get the runs over. I'm being straight with you... you currently have a leg up, but enjoy it while it lasts because I've duct-taped my ribs back together and I've got your number...

How's the water in Lake Okeechbee?
It's a swamp, brother Whale Shark. You paid all of that $$ to go to Florida for some secret training and all you got to swim in is a swamp. Watch your back when you're swimming in the swamp, because I told cousin snapping turtle you were coming.
Little Mako has down in the corals observing the Whale Shark. Biding his time, sharpening his teeth...

Nice to be back in the pool, Whale Shark
How's the water in Montreal?
Been training much this week, Whale Shark? Me neither. I've been sharpening my teeth, though.
Chomp, chomp...
Mako
Fishie, fishie in the sea...

Yo Whale Shark,
