Traci hits and kills a manatee

Traci, having a great time driving the boat. This is her first time, does it look like she is going a little too fast for a novice skipper?

Traci grimaces as she sees something large and slow moving in front of her. But she doesn't turn.

The rest happened so quickly I was unable to document it. I'm surprised she didn't kill us too. The manatee proved to be a speed bump from which we took 2 or 3 feet of air. It was bloody enough, Traci felt bad enough that I kept my camera sheathed. She's still crying . . .
