Save the Manatee - kill a boater

A visiting friend, Jason and I, decided to take a quick road trip to see the manatees. A few years ago I took Jason kayaking at Crystal River, but we figured it would be best to just stay in the area since he would be leaving shortly anyway. with the cold weather, there were plenty of manatees around that were taking advantage of the warm water discharge from the TECO power plant. Besides these large animals, there were also some hammerhead sharks that were swimming around and occasionally jumping out of the water. It was warm enough the day we went that I'm sure many of the animals had gone out foraging for food, but there were still dozens around to check out.
