Swimming with the Manatees

Heather and I went out to Homosassa Springs to swim with manatees.  The state has a small area setup to allow the public to interact with manatees in a safe way for everyone.  We had a great time letting the manatees come up to us and say hello.  They are very inquisitive creatures.

They’re such interesting looking animals.

They will come up and brush against your hand if you hold it out for them.  Some of the manatees like getting scratches on the belly.
