Such a powerful read. Although Mrs T's family live in central Florida I have seen some manatees and is a shame when animals suffer at the hands of humans.
Two of my mothers bridesmaids lost their eldest sons (who were my age) through drugs. Addiction is something else.
I always enjoy reading your adventures and yes we should stay positive.

On a side note, would you like a Silver name? For example I am Silver Scot as I am Scottish, @nancybriti1 in the comments is SilverFlea as that is a nickname she had at school. You being a commercial fisherman might want something to do with fishing?
