We are spending a few lazy days in Hope Town. Relaxing, reading and watching the manatee crowds on the docks. What a great spices. I hear there are just 20 in all the Bahamas. The second one arrived today. They monitor them, name them, report on their condition. THEY LOVE WATER...SEEN IN PHOTO. DO NOT DO THIS!!! They get plenty from rains. It bloats them and they get buoyant ... Not a good thing around propellers. They all have scars.
They love people. Don't touch them. They need to be at sea, not chasing attention from propellers. But, they are fun to see!
