Manatee Cruises (slowly) into South Harbor Marina

An article in the Wilmington Star-News, Brunswick Edition,  stated that a Manatee, also known as a Sea Cow, had strayed a bit north of their normal waters, and was lounging around in the South Harbor Marina.  This Marina fronts directly on the Intracoastal Waterway.  Our Manatee was estimated to be about 9' long, and an advisory was issued to boaters to be on the lookout for and avoid any contact with this docile Mammal.  I rode over early this morning but either the Manatee had moved on or it wasn't an early riser.   Sunday on the beach I saw a great school of dolphin and I'll keep my eyes open in search of the Manatee.
