Crystal River; February 1, 2011

Link to Crystal River via Google Maps

Crystal River is a poplar habitat of the manatee. Its the only place in the United States where people can interact with the sea cow in their natural conditions. Tourism is big business for the local economy and there was a steady stream of tour boats passing us every day. We were amused when some boats circled Lollygag and stopped to talk. 

We spent one night at Pete Pier Marina to restock and have mail forwarded.

I am not a manatee

It's difficult to get a picture of a manatee. Thought we had one until we enlarged  it.
