Our Manatee Tour began at 5:30 in the morning. It was cold. It was foggy. It was....well...DARK. After a one hour boat ride up river, it was still cold and foggy but at least it was daybreak. Apparently the manatees are most active in the early morning and the alligators are not, or so claimed our captain. After a little searching one was found lounging on the bottom but even after being warned and watching the required video, the two kids on board splashed noisily into the water scaring it away. I suggested we steam on and leave them there (to test the alligator theory) but the parents objected. Another manatee was located and this time we all quietly slipped into the water. All in all a fun experience. I wish I had a better manatee picture to post but we only had an inexpensive, disposable, underwater camera and it was...well...DARK!

It looks a bit like a very puffy turtle in this light - but at leat you had the experience! Still more fun than most of us are having!

Can't go to that part of Florida without giving it a try....wouldn't be prudent!
