Stella Taylor faces shark scare during Bahamas to Florida swim
Five foot white tip shark neared marathon swimmer Stella Taylor at dawn forcing a brief exit. A .44 Magnum killed the shark with a bang stick, then she resumed her 70 strokes per minute pace toward Fort Lauderdale in a 140 mile bid from Bimini to Florida. She has previously crossed the English Channel and aims to reach Florida by evening if all goes well.
