Hi All,
Last week we had a cold snap in central Florida. Not anything like up north but cold enough to concentrate the Manatee in the warm spring water at Blue Spring State Park.
So many people came to see the Manatee that it took us almost an hour to get into the park. Turns out that was only 0.12 minutes per Manatee! (55 minutes/463 Manatee).
Manatee everywhere including cows with calves.
People everywhere as well,
This mosaic Manatee was a big hit with small kids.
In some spots the Manatee were were stacked like chord wood.
Animals would rest on the bottom for 10-20 minutes then slowly rise to the surface to breath.
We even spotted a young raccoon.
The boardwalk ends at the spring boil where over 100,000,000 gallons of 74 degree water flow out of the ground every day.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
