The temperatures will warm up again after a chilly week that's coming up, its going to be cold enough to send dozens of manatees searching for warmer waters this Month. They will head for the Orange River, where the warm water of the power plant keeps them warm.
Manatees typically migrate when the Gulf dips below 68 degrees.
The temperatures in the Gulf, some morning are a chilly 64 degrees.
Over 50 manatees were spotted at Manatee Park in Lee County where the water is much warmer, around 77 degree.

Paddler’s Responsibilities
The outings planned by our organizers. We do not screen these persons nor have we checked out their kayaking abilities.
Regardless of what organizers posts an event, when you take part in kayaking or paddling, you alone are responsible for your safety.
Kayaking can be dangerous, you paddle at your own risk.
Safety is your responsibility. Become aware of the dangers of wind, waves, currents, and wakes from big boats, sun and heat.
It's mandatory you have a personal flotation device with you and a whistle when kayaking. Wear your PFD vest, always.
Be ready to turn back if you no longer feel comfortable in a situation.
No other person knows better what your limitations are than you.

I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.
