We weren t supposed to be there. Neither were they. Not at that time. Not on that day. Not even in that month but there we were backing HideAway around the tip of ?B? dock for her temporary home last Fourth of July holiday weekend at Boca Ciega Yacht Club. And there they were tucked under a dink hanging by davits from a large cruising catamaran. At first they looked like large islands of brown algae then one of the islands swam towards HideAways running outboard. I lurched for the kill switch reaching it just in time to see a large Manatee or was it a mermaid munching on HideAways rudder.. ..
