Watched over by the guardian manatees

—Gregory Colbert

I’m now collaborating with dolphins off the coast of the Bahamas. Dolphins are live and agile like violins unlike manatees whose shape evokes cellos and soulful songs, but one shares a similar quality of intimacy with both creatures under the surface of the sea.

The manatee waltz.

When Christopher Columbus first saw manatees, he thought they were mermaids. He dreamed of taking shelter on their tail flukes.
