Ever wonder how Fortescue got its name? This tiny Delaware Bay fishing village was named for John Fortescue, who owned the land before the American Revolution. It later became famous as the “Weakfish Capital of the World!”

🦈 Parts of the #DelawareBay are designated by NOAA as a Habitat Area of Particular Concern for sand tigers. The bay is known as a top nursery for these #sharks, which grow 6-11 feet long and weigh 200-350 lbs.

Bonked into a jellyfish today--it was too close to the shore, and I was too far from it.

We both survived, life goes on.
