Manatees!


After living here almost a year, I finally saw Manatees! Technically, a few months ago, I saw the outline of one as it swam under a cluster of tarpon but that doesn't count. We were out for a walk, along the Bight Marina outside Schooner Wharf,  and saw a mama and baby. 








Mark had to point them out to me. I walked right past thinking they were boat equipment.  You can see how much she blends into the bag hanging next to her.  The next night, we saw the mama in almost the same spot. Baby was probably close by. 

I'll have to start carrying my camera with the polarized lens again.
