Patrick Hannah and I went to Tybee Island Sunday afternoon after church and tennis lessons. We went and walked out on the pier and watched the people fishing.
We walked to the end of the pier just as someone was was reeling in a stingray. It really upset all of us and couldn't bear to take pictures. Hannah got some video but then had to stop. the guy got it up to the beach and was able to release it but it was still cruel.
We actually talked to a family that had never seen one before other than in an aquarium. Both the kids got really excited and told them how cool they are to see in the wild and how big they can get. They explained snorkeling with them and watching them move along the bottom and that they are not terrifying like some make them out to be. They did a great job of being advocates for sea life. I was proud.
