"Why We Drink"

Tito, I have to admit to you and everyone, that I have hit a manatee with my boat before. Probably left a mark across its back with the engine prop.

It's really hard to avoid around here, and especially on lake Okeechobee, where the water can be tannin colored in areas, and the manatees blend in perfectly with the water color.

I think they are hit all the time, honestly. Good thing is that it's mostly surface wounds that heal. But I feel bad for the big fellas. They were designed for a time when people didn't scream around the lake and inshore areas with outboard engines.

That manatee will never dance again....
