Manatee

Today I saw a manatee. Actually I saw over twenty manatees. They don’t like to be in the Gulf of Mexico when it is too cold (below 65° F). The gulf was 66 degrees today. I saw these manatees basking in the warm effluent from the Fort Meyers power plant cooling towers. The water from the towers is a balmy 81&deg F — just right for manatees.
