We have seen lots of sea creatures in our time in Marathon. A good-sized ray jumped out of the water while we were in the dinghy and scared the crap out of us. Lots of fish I struggle to identify by anything but size and color. Sea turtles twice and dolphins pretty frequently. But we still hadn't seen any manatees.
Well one day right off the dock outside the office I'm looking down towards our dinghy and I think to myself - why is there unexploded ordnance in the canal?
After a second look, and then they pop up for some air, it looked like a baby manatee and its parents.
OK, now I get the name sea cow.
