   (Jacksonville, FL)  --  An Atlanta woman says her 18-year-old daughter is "done with the ocean" after suffering a shark attack off the coast of Jacksonville on Thursday.
   Hannah Mayo was on a boogie board when a shark, about four feet long, bit her on her leg and foot.
   Mayo required 29 stitches on her left foot and leg.
   Mayo's boyfriend pulled her to the beach and called lifeguards as the shark swam away after the attack.
   Mayo's mother told the "Gwinnett Daily Post" that Hannah's foot was hanging off the boogie board and doctors said she easily could have lost it.
   It was not Mayo's first scare in the ocean.
   When she was nine, a Portuguese man-of-war stung her in the water off the South Carolina coast.
