Rumor has it that many a sailor's mermaid sighting was in reality a Manatee. Most certainly these sailors must have been desparate for the scent of a woman because Manatees are not beautiful creatures. Sailors that were out-to-sea for just a little too long, I suspect. Close up, Manatees are prehistoric looking. They really are gentle giants though. Currently there are several of them visiting our marina. One momma and baby pair are particularly friendly and hang out around our dock begging for a sip of fresh water.
