Like mom said, a manatee came to our stern. It was my idea to name Fatsy. He was at least six feet long, by about three feet wide, and, so Fatsy wasn't a bad name for him!
Dad was afraid he would hurt the manatee if he went under the boat. Thankfully, Fatsy didn't! We saw a few scars on his back, hopefully they weren't from propellers!
This was our first manatee up close, and I hope it wasn't our last!!

They are amazing aren't they? I had no idea how big they were until I saw them when we stayed in Jupiter. What land animal are they related to? I can't remember.
