A paddleboarder who recently had a close encounter with a shark on Monterey Bay, near Pacific Grove, recounted the experience, saying he's happy to have escaped with his life and his dog.
Stickler said he and Brutus were thrown into the water."There was this little flash of like 'God, no, don't let me see it," he said.
The two rushed to get back on the board, and that's when Stickler said he had a spiritual experience. "I looked up, and on the boat, on the back of the boat, there is about 10 to 15 Buddhist monks all praying," he explained."They didn't bat an eye. They were all just in a circle, all praying. And that was the boat that was following me.
"And they had been calling from 100 meters off," he continued,"so that's what I'm saying -- everything shifted because I was like, 'Oh, someone's following me. Someone's got my back, someone's watching me.'""He was just shaking the whole end, like, 'When are we going to be done?' ... It turned out OK for him," Stickler said.
