Manatee Springs SP: Sunny for a while this morning. Walked down to see the manatees. Was hard to see them because the breeze was rippling the water. There were a few where the spring run flows into the Suwannee River. Went into Chiefland and did the laundry, bought groceries, had lunch and I got my hair cut Came back and put everything away. Rained a little bit and cleared off by late afternoon. Wish I was braver because we can swim in the spring—even if there are manatees in there. We have our wet suits, but it would be pretty cold. The spring is 72 degrees year around, but to me that’s cold. There are a couple of older women who swim in the spring every morning—and no wet suits. Brrrrrrr. Tomorrow will be our last chance since we leave on Saturday for Inverness, FL. Supposed to be cold (30s) tonight and tomorrow night, but warming up pretty quickly. I’m sure the manatees will be in the spring tonight to seek warmer water. Will we do it or not?
