Manatee Attack - not exactly

Our friend Harry sent a few photos from some recent trips.  Here are two from Hospital Hole on the Weeki Wachee River.

As this manatee rises to periscope depth, Harry takes this photo and yells,"Torpedo, torpedo!"

Then with a couple of massive flips of its enormous tail . . .

And simultaneously, with super swift reflexes and amazing skill, Big D maneuvers his kayak for a near miss by the living torpedo.

Well, the part about Harry taking the photos was true.  Honest.  :-)
