I just booked a trip to the Cape for a week in August. I figure the sharks are there and have been for a while now with very few problems so there is no sense in running the opposite direction.

If you think Narragansett is great white shark free then do yourself a favor and don't speak to anyone working on the water in the area. There was a large one inside the Harbor of Refuge last summer, several have been caught in the fish traps, and likely many more that don't make the news.
