Mating Manatees!!!!!
Terresa yelled "MANATEES" from the bow and I was shocked to see what looked to be half a dozen dark shadows on the sandbar south of Fort Myers Beach. The manatees were oblivious to us as we carefully maneuvered the boat to get a closer look. They were rolling and splashing all about the place while staying on top of the sandbar. After several minutes of this "activity" they made a huge amount of commotion and then all took off in a big hurry. WHAT A SHOW! This was the best manatee experience we have had in over 3 years of charters. It was like National Geographic in High Definition! The pictures turned out great, but you really had to be there to see the power and grace these animals exhibited this morning.
