Larry called this morning. They were ready to leave whenever we got there. We upped anchor and headed their way.
Decided to go to Blue Springs and see the Manatees. There is a side creek just past the springs where we can anchor and dingy to the Springs.
The weather has been warm the last few days so there wasn’t a great number of Manatees in today. As the temperatures drop the numbers will increase. It was still fun to see the ones that were in.
The grey along the edge is a clay bank. The Manatees were enjoying rolling around in it. Made the water cloudy…but still beautiful.
The babies are the most popular and get a lot of “ooohs and aaahhs”.
They now show a video explaining why and how they track the Manatees. I only saw the last part but it would be worth watching.
Larry’s dingy motor quit on the way to the Springs so we towed them down and back.
Did I finally get a smile out of Jim? I was holding the tow rope and this is what happens when you zig when you should have zagged.
Diane and Larry enjoying their tow. Turns out it was a faulty spark plug. Once he replaced it ….it ran like a top.
Didn’t see any Manatees on our way back. Several swirls in the water but nothing surfaced.
We closed up against the bugs and watched a movie…..then off to bed. A nice night. Not cold…not hot..not muggy. It just can’t get much better than this.
