damn.. almost forgot to mention...

I was out at the most northern tip of PAG..

first tack out and i look down to see a group of stingrays.

very cool, i thought.

skip to 20 minutes later and I'm just finishing a turn from the beach, cruising along and see a HUGE dark spot in the water. I thought it was the shadow of the kite, but was not moving..

did someone sink a VW bus here?

Nope.

Adult manatee just sitting there. I was right on top of it before I really realized what it was. It was just inside the swim zone in about 5 or 6 feet of crystal clear water.

I kited next to it a few more time over the next 10 or 15 minutes.

Never saw it surface, but i could track it by its "bubbles".

groovy.
