Jaws - Your Survival Guy

Not too many years ago, You Survival Guy (and Gal), kids, sister, brother-in-law, niece, and nephew, jumped off “Jaws” bridge. Located on the road between Oak Bluffs and Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard.

Jumping off the bridge was a highlight of our annual boat trips. It’s where part of the movie Jaws was filmed. The kids hadn’t seen the movie yet. But the adults all had. And if you did too, you know how scary it was swimming after seeing it. The music running through your head, hesitating before jumping in, flailing like mad to get back onto the boat or raft. That was scary.

Walking our dog by the local movie theater, Jane Pickens, we noticed Jaws is playing. Warning: If you like swimming in the ocean, be prepared. You might not be jumping back in anytime soon.

Action Line: Come visit Your Survival Guy in Newport. Let’s talk.
