Additional pictures: The first picture shows eight of the eleven I mentioned before; the second is of two just under my feet as I stood on the dock.

Always happy to share; it is quite a sight. Two days later there were 11 manatees gathered near the dock next door (I'll look back to see if I have a suitable picture to add here).

I am so jealous! Would love to have seen that in person! Thanks for letting me experience it through your photos.
