We were there yesterday morning and there were 44 recorded as it was warm in the river. they were pretty much all gathered in a sunny spot by the mouth of the river and none were further up towards the spring. Today is much colder so they are probably heading in now.
Wonderful creatures and well worth a visit. Take a picnic and relax for a few hours |

Anyone down on the Gulf Coast in the winter months, the Power Station at Fort Myers is also a good spot.

Are they ever around the springs around October time? I would love to see them in the wild!

Todays count 309 manatees at Blue Springs including "mums and calves" so if you are in the area it is a great opportunity during the cooler weather to see these amazing animals. First thing in the morning is definitely the best time to see them.
The webcam is amazing at the moment:- savethemanatee/manat...natee-webcams/ |

We showed our daughter the live link on Saturday. She is so excited about our swim with the Manatees on the 15th. She is a dive master but is looking forward to just chilling with them, a extra 30th birthday present and another box ticked.

3 years ago we saw manatees of Palma Sola Drive in Cortez - at Portosueno Park. (off Manatee Ave West)
What appeared to be a smallish family with a baby. We spent an hour there - amazing! Edited at 08:32 PM. |

We went to swim with the Manatees today with River Ventures. We had a brilliant time with Captain Wade and Gloria. First we went to one area but after a while it did get busy, so we got back on the boat and went to another area which we were the only ones with at least 3 Manatees.
Although you not allowed to touch the Manatees unless they come up to you, I was next to one of the crew and one Manatee came over to him and he was allowed to touch it's face, I put my hand gently on the side and it turned on it's side so I could stoke it's belly. The toll from the 27 on the Florida Turnpike is $1.75 manned. Lesley and Melvin

Our daughter and her partner went back the following Tuesday to kayak all day at Crystal River and was told that as the weather had got warmer there was only one Manatee in the river.
Maybe with the cooler weather later this week, they might come back in especially if they have young. Certainly an experience of a life time. Melvin and Lesley
