A Mighty Good Day!

Tuesday, March 06, 2007. If we were to define a perfect day on the St. Johns River as waking up in a pretty anchorage to blue sky and calm water with a flock of ibis nearby, having manatee come right up to our dinghy to check us out, AND seeing three alligators sunning on the bank, then this day could hardly be matched!

We also enjoyed meeting some folks this morning who are planning to start on the Great Loop in the next year or so. We are heading north again. Tonight we are anchored in a lovely cove off Buzzard’s Point just south of Welaka, FL. With no city lights to obscure the view, the stars are glorious. It doesn’t get much better than this (that is, unless we could have located a wonderful restaurant for dinner, but who’s complaining).

Awesome manatee and aligator pictures! Of all the things, I am most jealous of seeing the various critters.
 
I'll agree. The critters have won my heart. I can't quit looking at the birds, and those manatee are sweethearts -- such friendly, curious, loving animals. If I could adopt a family manatee, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
