			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I was working on the computer, got a &#8216;hunch&#8217; to go to the beach&#8230;<img class="alignright" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_aOCuYvSPLHs/TQYxqos-mFI/AAAAAAAADA8/HnsUBrRNOlk/s800/100_0219.JPG" alt="" width="306" height="177" /></p>
<p>Cool! Maybe its the manta ray! Maybe I&#8217;ll be able to free her up this time! I grab my dive knife and camera, just in case&#8230; (there&#8217;s no way I&#8217;m going to miss showing you the cutting of her fishing lines!)</p>
<p>I grab a dry towel, put on my swimsuit, then the phone rings and I get sidetracked&#8230;</p>
<p>The hunch comes back, &#8220;Get to the beach now!&#8221; Grabbing my still-drying wetsuit off the clothesline, I race for the car and hit the gas&#8230;</p>
<p>There&#8217;s several places I park&#8230; which one? What the heck, I head for the south lot&#8230;</p>
<p>Unloading my gear, I start talking with a group of divers who&#8217;ve just gotten out of the water (The ocean looks <em>awesome</em>!) Suddenly one of them points toward the water, &#8220;<em>What&#8217;s that?</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>My neck snaps into position&#8230; every sense on alert, I scan, excitement building&#8230; Is it the manta ray? Am I finally going to be able to free her of the fishing line?</p>
<p>A dark black blob, eighty feet from shore, moving slowly south&#8230; Manatees!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m off in a flash&#8230; running down the beach to get ahead of them, carrying my dive flag and buoy, heart pounding&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m five years old&#8230; singleminded&#8230; totally excited, racing for the sheer fun of it!</p>
<p>A few hundred yards and I stop, panting&#8230; I unravel my floatline, tie it to my gear, wade into the water (brrrr!), put on my mask and fins and kick away from shore&#8230; I want to get into position far enough ahead of them so my heart rate is calmed down by the time they arrive&#8230;</p>
