Crystal River

The weather today was delightful.  The sun was warm and the air was cool as we launched from Hunter Springs.  We passes a lot of birds and ducks as we made our way down the Crystal River on our way to 3 Sisters Springs.  As we expected the colder waters have caused the manatee to return to the local rivers and the springs.  We took a short break on Parker Island.  After leaving our boats we realized that we were ankle deep in mud.  Our shoes were being sucked from our feet.  We returned to Hunter Springs where we loaded our boats.  We made our way over to eat at Crackers restaurant.  The food was delicious as always.  If you missed this trip you missed a nice one.   Sandie
