encounter on the water

The Santa Barbara shark attack creates an eerie mood that no one can ignore. Hearing the story from best friend, Matthew Garcia, makes you cringe and have great compassion for him. It is just unreal to think that Garcia will live the rest of his life with the picture of his best friend dying in the back of his mind. The friend explained, "It was really fast. You just saw a red wave and this water is blue – as blue as it could ever be – and it was just red, the whole wave." This picture given is quite disturbing and vulgar. Matthew Garcia did a great job of staying calm and not panicking, considering the horror of what was happening right before his eyes. Garcia seems to be able to talk about the incident pretty easily and gives the reader a real sense of what had occured, but also seems emotionally stable in this interview, which is mind blowing. In the article nothing was said about the beaches being closed which seems a little risky. Though the beaches weren't closed people most likely kept their distance from the Santa Barbara beach and were very cautious at any beach they were at, just because of the freshness of this story.
