This one is one of those things that happens once in a life time, My wife and kids had sailed up to Captiva Island in June for a long week-end by the Pool and at sea when I caught this very unexpectedly.
Actually it is a Manatee that had come up to the dock to drink the fresh water from the Garden hose that was hanging over the edge of the dock.
When this started to gather a crowd, it also attracted the attention of the local Game Warden who informed me that drinking fresh water this way caused the animals to have severe stomach aches.
Thanks for the time you spent on this, silly but I bet you didn't get Triggered from it! LOL
