Then up out of the water comes a giant manatee blows a little snort at us and swims off on his way. There's always a few reported sightings around here every year, but that was a first for me.
2 years ago we're at orange beach...i'm 6-8 into a 12 pack standing in waist deep water and I see 2 really big shadows approaching. Bout pissed those 6 or 8 but one of the manatees topped and blew some air. That was pretty cool to have them swim 20ft or so away from me.


The harder I practice, the luckier I get.
