Georgina Harwood who celebrated her 100th year by skydiving with her friends and family continues her extreme birthday celebrations in Cape Town, South Africa
Georgina Harwood prepares for her dive in Gaansbai
This Monday the centenarian took a dip in a shark cage. Adrenaline
loving woman was joined by family members as she encountered the
fearsome predators off the coast of Gaansbai, a fishing town on the
Western Cape.
Mrs Harwood was lowered into the sea, surrounded by a
safety cage, as tour operators throw chunks of meat and fish into the
sea to attract sharks. Speaking after the incredible experience, she
said, “I’m so glad I did it, a special experience in my life time, I just can’t compare it to anything else.”
Reflecting on her shark-infested swim, Harwood said she felt“sharks are having a hard time in the sea” due to overfishing. “We are taking the Hake. The poor old sharks are coming in to the coast and getting us which is a very sad thing,” she said.
By the way, Harwood went skydiving on her 100th birthday in order
to raise funds for life jackets for the National Sea Rescue Institute.
