Ryan and Matt knew exactly where to find the manatees and taught us how to be respectful of these incredible, sweet, intelligent creatures. We all took our time enjoying the manatees, and Ryan takes great photos.
While my husband and daughter continued to swim and enjoy the manatees, I came back to the boat and rested. Captain Matt kept things fun by introducing me to great music, and sharing some good conversation.
Thanks, also, to the ladies behind the desk who let me snuggle their puppy!
And Juno, you are the sweetest ever.
If I lived in Crystal River, you guys would be my besties, I can just tell.
