[[Large shark migration in FL.....this should end well ]]

The shark migration is perfectly normal for this time of year. The manatees are mostly found in the inland canals this time of year.

I guess global warming must be good for something after all.

Yes. The shark migration has received a lot of press this year, for whatever reason.

Somebody actually draws a government paycheck to count those things?

Years ago we were canoeing on a river in Florida when something gave the canoe a big bump. Looked over the side and there was a manatee drifting right beside the canoe. It stayed with us about an hour. The best canoe trip ever.

I was fishing on Okeechobee on Friday and a manatee came up beside the boat. First one I had ever seen so far from the coast. Very curious creature and seamed to be so very vunerable. Not 200 yards down I spooked a gator. Didn’t seem to be compatible creatures but I guess so.

Those of us Freepers who are ALSO members of the Monster Hunter Nation know that it is merely the annual WendellCon, where hordes gather to meet and perhaps breed with the world-famous Wendell the Manatee, CorreiaTech CFO and gaming champion. . .

"Record 6,250 Manatees Spotted in Florida Waters"

Is that a sober estimate?
