Manatee Sighting at Titusville

We are again at the Titusville Municipal Marina–we stopped here last March with Lainey and Miranda on our way south to Fort Lauderdale.  The marina was crowded then but not as much now.  We learned that many boaters are just starting to move south for the winter.  I suppose we got a head start.  Charlie the dockmaster was very helpful helping is refuel and get into our slip.  The sun was setting as we went stern first into the slip.  I had to slip the lines over a post using a hook which proved easier than I anticipated.  The dockhands had a bit rougher time with the stern because there was a bit of wind.  I crashed after this long day on the water while Mr. Adventure went out to visit with the neighbors.  Sunday was spent cleaning the boat and preparing to go home for a week. 

While Steve was washing the outside of the boat several manatee(s)? came up for some fresh water.

Finally pulling ourselves away from these huge slugs we finished cleaning and took Jack over to the dog park.  He had been patiently waiting for us. 

I am starting to feel like a photographer for Wild Kingdom  with all the animal photos I have been taking–birds, dolphins, fish, manatees, dogs…  Thank goodness we are going home on Monday–back to the other wild kingdom.
