Mermaid Scientist 
I currently own a house boat in Zanzibar and I have seen the documentary on animal planet concerning mermaids, as a skeptic I was unsure however as I write this approximately 10 minutes ago I witnessed and may have proof on a camera phone pic…it was not shy and it observed everything I did as it was peering through one of the tires and from about the pelvis up it was out the water, it started by a knocking noise on the front starboard side of the vessel along with different sounds of a hum whistle noise, as I got up from the lounge area I approached the area of concern as the sea was very calm and the knock was firm and loud, it’s sounds crazy but I saw a mermaid and it definitely saw me in a gaze of about 10 seconds at least, I’m unsure of how to load a pic on here but if you know let me know…
