Winter the dolphin-ashes placed at sea

For those familiar with Winter the Dolphin, she has died, and her ashes placed at sea. You can see the video below.
For those unfamiliar, Winter was a young dolphin found with a line from a crab trap cutting into her flukes. She was rescued, but her flukes could not be saved. She was rehabilitated at the Clearwater Aquarium and was an inspiration to disabled children and amputees.
I am proud to say that a USCG vessel was dispatched to carry Winter and her caretakers, and she was honored with a flyover by a USCG C-130 aircraft.
