This morning we got ready to leave Hopetown to go to our next destinations Man O War Cay. We have a boat repair to do there or I should say Cruise Abacos does, one of their Crusiers hit our boat while docking in the Ochrid Bay Marina, it is small but still it needs to be fixed. Anyway, so before we left this morning just after listening to the Cruisers Net of course, we headed to the gas station to fill up on gas and water. So as we were waiting on the gas to be filled up, the gas station guy told me to look under our tramboline and believe it or not a hugh Manatee was swimming under our boat. Camera time - I rushed to get a photo and then found him at the back of the boat just hanging out with this other guy and his dinghy near our swim ladder. He was very friendly, wanting to be petted, bringing his face very close to mine, he even rolled over to scratch his stomach under the dinghy, so cute. We did get a lot of great pictures and a small video, which I will share with you now.
After our adventures with our new friend the Manatee, we headed over to Man O War, with one stop on the way for Brad to put on his diving suit and clean the bottom of the boat. Then on to Man O War for a quiet afternoon of strolling the island, shopping and meeting other new creatures of the wild, like the turtles that swam around our boat and the dolphins that played in the harbor. Then on shore we met a cute golden doodle and an exotic black and brown cat with a bit of an attitude. But I got a good picture anyway. See for yourself.
