VISIT THE MANATEES!

Bobbi Levin is an excellent writer, and when she writes a story for the Reporter about a place to visit as she did recently, she makes you want to go! So today a friend and I visited the manatees at the Florida Power & Light Discovery Center, which is right next to the FPL power plant. You should go!

I had seen manatees before at the springs at Kelly State Park in northern Florida, but the big lumbering creatures didn't seem that interesting. Too docile for me, I guess, and I was into swimming-rafting down the river at the time. But at the FPL center it was different. It's amazing what a little information can do to stir up your interest in a subject, and there was plenty in the easy-to-read informational exhibits. Then we latched onto a tour guide who was just super. Twenty people followed her around (NOT a long walk), listened with rapt attention, and pounded her with questions.

You have to catch the manatees in the warm discharge water from the power plant at the right time, and we hadn't seen one, but were still having a wonderful time when someone spotted one headed for the U-shaped warm water area. Did I say "lumbering"? These guys can MOVE when they want to—20 miles an hour, the tour guide told us! We couldn't keep up to him (or her).

I could go on and on, telling you the fascinating stuff we learned, but you need to go for yourself. Get a cup of coffee at the snack shop when you go into the exhibit building and make liberal use of the comfortably molded bench seats to sit down on when your legs feel tired. Relax and enjoy! The center is open Tuesday through Sunday 9 to 4 year-round, but the best viewing, they say, will be only through March. After that and until the fall, the manatees can find the warm waters they need without recourse to the FPL area.
