This is the second incident in about two years. The first one was
fatal when the woman struck her head while falling backwards.

Funny. She deserved it and sad for the Ray. Looks like they were
taking pictures of the things when they should have steered away.


We had some people down here that were trying to get a little closer
to the dolphins and one jumped into the boat.

Several years a go we went trout fishing near Panama City.
We were trying to get close in john boats.
I turned to my left for an instant and a huge black and white cetation
of some sort was bowed beside the boat, about a foot away..
We must have drifted over the only large channel among the shell mounds.
There was no wake or surface disruption. I don't know what it was but it
was far larger than the boat.
It kinda got our attention, to say the least.
