Serene sunrise over sailboats at the dock

Or, perhaps you want to just "hang out" in this space and have fun.

On December 15th, 2007, we looked from the docks and saw a large manatee seemingly asleep in the harbor. We were working on the boat at the dock. Manatees love fresh water to drink, and when he heard the water, he came right over and drank his fill. It was one of the biggest manatees any of us had ever seen. What a special treat!

When we say 'fishing' -- we mean FISHING!!!
Don's son, visiting from Wisconsin, caught a 14 lb. red from the bulkhead in front of the Nature Cottage.
