Aww how cute! I want to give it a hug. (:

@starcastically Marinas are connected to land.... And quite often they have buildings where the owners of the marina live and work.

@WaxItYourself ... because it's a marina, and you're a few inches from the water no matter where you are? She's probably waiting for someone with a carrier or container while she's saying this.

[WaxItYourself]

@starcastically But why just hold him there just a few inches away from the water? If she doesn't plan on releasing him due to the boat propellers then he should be nowhere near the water.

[starcastically]

@WaxItYourself If he gets back into the water and continues living in and around the marina, he's in danger of being caught by a boat propeller or suffering blunt trauma from one of the boats coming in or out, because he's too young to know how to avoid it.

"If... I could just... make it to the water..."

[WaxItYourself]

That's pretty mean to just hold him there and make him think he can get back into the water like that. You'd think that people who worked at wildlife centers would know better.

Of course it's stressed. It's trying to get away but you won't let it...
