A couple of weeks ago I went on vacation in Florida. Several times I went swimming at the beach (we were on the gulf side) with my tail. A local took pictures and submitted them to the local newspaper. There is the article:

BRADENTON BEACH – The mysterious and mythical “Merman” was spotted again last week near the BeachHouse restaurant in Bradenton Beach.
Several beachgoers and passersby reported encounters with the part-man, part-mermaid who enjoys lounging in surf and frolicking in the sand and is known to be sociable and camera-friendly. Usually seen alone, it is not known whether Merman has a mermaid companion that accompanies him on his travels in and around the Gulf of Mexico.
BeachHouse Chef Donald White says Merman appears on the beach from time to time and that’s about all he knows about the colorful local character.
Bradenton Beach Police Chief Sam Speciale said he is aware of the Merman sightings but he knows little else about the mysterious man of the sea.
Erica Johnson is a professional photographer and she briefly encountered Merman during a photo shoot on the beach last week.
“I didn’t get to speak to him to directly, but he seemed real positive and happy, and he spoke with a European accent,”said Johnson, who also works at The Waterfront restaurant in Anna Maria.
A longtime Island resident who wished to remain anonymous said, “He’s the real deal and he might also fight crime, seek truth and do other super hero things in his spare time.”
The Sun’s efforts to make direct contact with Merman have thus far proved elusive and are ongoing.

A few odd things: European accent? I'm from So California!
Also, somehow my Mer-name did not make it into the article, even though I gave it out quite often.
