Just when you thought it was safe to go in the water again…it is.

PETER Benchley, author of the bestseller Jaws that was the basis for the blockbuster movie that terrified beachgoers and kept many out of the water for years, died at his home at age 65, his family said overnight.but I empathise with the Benchly family but one of my daughters is still traumatised by the movie Jaws and still views the sea as a source of terror so I’m glad the chance of another Jaws movie has deminished by his demise.
