Today is a stretch that is one of Christina’s favorites, and Bob’s least favorites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christina enjoys this stretch through Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River because this is the day we are almost always certain to see manatees and dolphins. Also, because it is in manatee zones, all boats have to go slow, so we don’t have to deal with rude wakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bob doesn’t enjoy this stretch because there are large expanses of water all about, and he has to stay in a skinny channel keeping an eye out for all the markers to be sure we don’t drift in to shallow water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we were joined by a couple of butterflies who flew alongside us for an hour or so. They would take a break every now and then on the foredeck, and then come back and fly alongside again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christina also got her wish and saw a couple manatees in Haulover Canal, and dolphins throughout the day who did not cooperate and stop for a photo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
