A manatee in MA? I grew up in Scituate and never heard of manatees until I moved to Fl. in '72. These Florida manatees don't fare well in cold water. And by cold water, I mean less than 65 deg. Learn something new every day.I knew manatee were swimming under my keel, because the depth sounder alarm kept going off. I almost had a heart attack, though, when I wanted to back out of our slip, and the water behind us exploded when I shifted into reverse. A manatee behind us had crash dived and the slap of his tail had sent water over my head and into the cabin.
Sorry, I should have said we were in Titusville, FL. The manatees were everywhere in the marina.A manatee in MA? I grew up in Scituate and never heard of manatees until I moved to Fl. in '72.

Thanks for the clarification. That makes way more sense.Sorry, I should have said we were in Titusville, FL. The manatees were everywhere in the marina.
That, and there are an estimated 23,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (that's twenty-three sextillion) planets in our universe. Never mind the moons.I have seen on documentaries some of these creatures and knew about the life around hydro thermal vents. This is why I believe life exists on other planets.
Considering how prohibitively far away even the nearest planet, outside our solar system, is, the Cosmos is so big, it would still be a wonder that we ever ran into someone else. Think Zeno's Paradox.That, and there are an estimated 23,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (that's twenty-three sextillion) planets in our universe. Never mind the moons.
Mathematically speaking, it is contemptible to even suggest we might be completely alone.
