I loved the singing boat tour! And always love the manatees. What fun.

Tina, before my husband, cousin and I learned how to actually sail our sailboat, we would "visit" it on Sundays bringing the NY Times, coffee and bagels. One beautiful morning while I sat in the sun on the boat, I kept hearing this noise very close to me. But I didn't see anything unusual. It happened several times, so I put down the paper and coffee and sat near the edge of the boat. There it was - a manatee coming up for a breath before sinking back below the surface. What fun!

Thanks, Tina. That looks like great fun.
Sorry I missed the Singing River tour, maybe next year but I knew I wasn't up to getting in that cold water for swim with all the wonderful creatures.

Beautiful pics, Tina. That water was soooooo clear. I've never wanted to get in water with things that actually 'live' in the water. ;) But seeing the beauty of this world from your pics make me re-consider this thought... not that i'm running right out for equipment, mind you, but I, at least, will re-consider it. :lol: :lol:

and remember, most tour groups will rent their equipment or include the rental in their tour prices....just so you know for future planning! :)

Wonderful pictures Tina. All along I've been thinking I'll never get all the way to Florida from California. But now that I've seen all your pics and those of the others, I've realized I may have to rethink and put Florida on my list of places I just have to visit.
