Manatees

We are in Titusville, Florida home to many manatee.  The locals tell us that there used to be a fresh water spring in the area that dried up.  The manatee need fresh water to live.  We were washing the boat and the manatee came flocking to drink the fresh water run off.  Got some great pictures of the " so ugly they are cute" manatee.  It seems that they get as much fresh water as they need from the boating community.

  1. Welcome back! Your stay in the islands looked like it was wonderful. We're on our way home, but the weather will probably keep us pinned in Atlantic City for a while. We plan to spend our summer on Catskill Creek just off the Hudson River. We'll be close to both the kids and friends. Have a safe trip North and enjoy your summer.
