While out near Ft J MRC I had a manatee surface no more than 20’ from my boat. A first for me to see one around here!
Did it scare you at first, or did you know it was a manatee right away? Just curious…I probably would have freaked out.
When I saw the water movement I was expecting a dolphin as they were around too but when the manatee snout surfaced I knew what it was right away. I’ve done the “swim with the manatees” thing down in FL years ago.
That would have been cool to see. That is one thing I really like about the kayak. You see and hear so much more than you do in a boat.
