Stirring Mud

Marathon
No LL

Yesterday, we played Balderdash on board Reflections. Our hosts, Ray and Pat, told a very interesting story that I'd like to pass along.

Pat and Ray say that they like to take their dinghy out past Sombrero Beach to a shoal area south of Vaca Key. There, they can swim in 5 feet of fine clear water. Recently, as they swam there, they came upon two manatees. The manatees were engaged in making little manatees (if you know what I mean.) They said that the activity was vigorous and that they stirred up quite a bit of mud from the bottom. What a shame that they didn't have a camera with them.

p.s. I find it hard to visualize a manatee doing anything vigorously.
