Manatee Blues (2008)
“Gretchen hops into a forklift with a small crane built onto the front end, and drives it to the edge of the dock. We sure don’t have any equipment like that at Dr. Mac’s Place!
Carlos and his staff slide Violet into the water, then onto a sling. They hook the sling up to the crane. Gretchen maneuvers the crane and carefully hoists Violet into the air. With Carlos walking next to Violet, the crane and its load slowly make their way through the open doors of the rescue center’s manatee wing. The ...rest of us are close behind.
The manatee wing has two tanks, a large one with a glass wall that you can see through from the center’s exhibition area, and a smaller behind-the-scenes tank that is connected to the larger one by a chute. Gretchen rolls the crane to the edge of the chute and waits while Carlos and the others climb down into it. At his signal, she lowers the sling until Violet rests on the floor of the dry chute. Gretchen grabs a red plastic equipment box and climbs down to join her patient.MoreLess
