Manatees are so special.How horribly sad that they will eventually be put on the endangered list.They are so beautiful.I love them❤️.There has to be better watercraft laws,they should not be getting hit.We all have to bring our voices to this.Thank you for this beautiful video. So stunning and wonderful. Big hugs to the puppies.❤️❤️🇨🇦
How wonderful it must be to see those magnificent animals! ❤
It's an incredible experience to be so close! We're on quite a manatee roll right now between Silver Springs and Crystal River. 👍 - Howard
Seeing the manatees was super cool, but getting to swim with them looks INCREDIBLE!! And that crab had our mouths watering. You guys have had an awesome time down in the Sunshine State!👍
Thanks, it's been a lot of fun getting to explore Florida more this year! Lots of places getting checked off our bucket list. 👍 - Howard
I'm a manatee in human form too. That laundry room was amazing, the restaurant is amazing, the ice cream & donut place (we ate a Duck Donut last year - YUM) is amazing, the floating with the manatees - WOW - this area looks fabulous - enjoyed this so much!
Manatees, donuts & icecream all in one video! Now that's a must-do destination for sure! 😂❤🎉
Checks ALL the boxes! 😂👍 - Howard
One of my absolute favorite animals. Been a member of "Save the Manatee Club" for years. My house is full of manatee related items.
I absolutely LOVED this episode! What I wouldn’t give to have been with you two and those beautiful Manatees…so majestic and gentle. I am sorry, but have got to catch-up with you as we’ve been consumed with our daughter’s very near death. Horrible blood clots in her lungs, and the doctor’s couldn’t believe she survived. Anyway, hopefully, she’s healing, and mom and dad can relax a little bit! I’ve missed your wonderful escapades on video! This one, as all do, really has cheered me up. Many, many thanks, Love Ya, Virginia
Oh my stars!!! Manatees (who are the original chubby mermaids lol), fresh off the boat seafood, and house-made ice cream and donuts - what more could a FL-deprived woman ask for? I saw so many Manatees up close when I lived in FL, but never had the opportunity to be in the water with them, so I know where I'm going to knock that one off my bucket list for sure. If you get a chance, be sure to try a fried Soft-Shell Crab sandwich. It's so darn good! Enjoy and safe travels!
Thanks, Lis, and appreciate the recommendation on soft shell crab sandwich! Also glad you know the origin of the "chubby mermaid" name. Thanks as always for watching and we're glad you're along for the journey! 😎 - Howard
Loved it, especially the end, the snorkling with the manatees. Envious.
Love them so much! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Kathy! 👍 - Howard
Wow. Definitely needs to be on my bucket list.
Yes, for sure, Sandi! Crystal River and specifically swimming with the manatees has been on our list for a while. So glad we finally got to do it! 👍 - Howard
Loved this video. Such a special adventure. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! Glad you're along for the journey. 👍 - Howard
This was amazing!!!! Manatees are so stinkin cute!!!
Total awesomeness ❤
Sea 🌊 🐮 city!!!
What a fun experience swimming with the manatee ❤ And, oh my gosh, that ice cream donut looks pretty delicious 😋!
Anne & Eric
So cool to see the manatees! We got to see some from a land perch a few weeks ago, but to be in the water with them! Wow!
We swam with them in crystal river. It was awesome. Just float and they will come right up to you. We saw a calf too. What a great day 👍🏼
What a fantastic resort. And its 5am in the morning for me now, and im so hungry after watching this video. You guys are sloiled 😅😅😅
Haha, we can't apologize for making you hungry at 5AM, John! With our episodes, you know what you're getting into. 😂 - Howard
My daughter lives in Orlando. I am so planning a side trip from her house when I visit next winter to see manatees and eat at Crab Factory.
How cool was that.
Such a bucket list place to visit, Jeffrey! 👍 - Howard
Love Crystal River and your video was great! Wonderful shots of the manatees, they are such amazing creatures.
We were just there a few weeks ago.. it was pretty cool to see so many of them in person.
Yes, a great time to visit! They do regular census of the manatees, and earlier this year it was over 900!! 🤯 Howard
Wow!! Another great vid!!!
Thanks so much! ❤️
Saw our first manatee this year at Manatee Springs
That's great to hear, Bill! Lots of places to see manatees in person, glad you got to see them! 👍 - Howard
The swimming with manatees experience: That is getting up early (in my world) but could see it was worth it! Love that your zipper pull was used as dental floss 🦷 The chubby mermaid looks very yummy. Thanks for taking us along on your Florida adventures - it snowed here in Michigan last night after being very mild and lovely last week.🌷
Amazing!! Thank you!!
the manatees and you in the water, would certainly be a highlight of a trip.
Nice adventure…I’ve snorkeled Three Sisters Springs and Hunter Springs. I’ve never been to Guyer’s, though. I have to do that. Rock on!!
Nice! Yeah, definitely check out Guyers next time you're in Crystal River. Have you tried the Crab Plant? Also fantastic! 👍 - Howard
@@NewstateNomads I know where it is, but I haven’t been in there. But those crabs looked good. I also recommend The Shed or The Freezer.
@@NewstateNomadsAnd I’ll do that regarding Guyers.
Really excellent video guys! Makes me wanna get back there😍
I could never go. I would be in jail because there is no way I wouldn’t have a hugfest with ALL the Manatees!
I'm a human manatee...a "Hu-man-a-tee" if you will 😎 (I know, booooo, sorry 😆)
😂 I definitely see what you did there, lol
What a great video. We have put Crystal river on our list in Florida. Thank you both for taking us along on your adventures.
Fun vid! What did you use to film underwater? GoPro?
Yep, GoPros for underwater, and we're mixing Sony A7IV with Osmo Pocket 3. Now that we have the color matching dialed in, the Sony and Pocket are turning into a great combo! 👍 - Howard
@@NewstateNomads The Pocket 3 has gotten raves--I've thought about it for walking shots. Yours look great.
I didn’t see that you completed the tour of all the N.P. Videos. Did I not get them? Or is this video out of order?
You have to watch your intro. Howard is looking at the Manatees and he then says I have never seen so many. The next shot is some food getting dumped out of a basket and Katelyn says they are so delicious. So first Howard talks about how many there are and the next shot Katelyn is eating and saying how delicious they are. Huh? What? Eating Manatee? Okay I know you weren't but it just struck me funny. Maybe it is because in the late eighties five families towed our boats down to the Keys. We ate at a restaurant in Key West and they had Dolphin on the menu. Use rubes from MN thought they were serving Flipper. For all you youngins way back in the day there was a TV with a dolphin called Flipper. Been waiting anxiously for this video and so glad you got the experience. When I did my dives there we were told that Manatees are really horny suckers and they have kind of pinned lady snorkelers momentarily to the bottom and um "tried giving them a hug". Thanks for the video it sure brings back memories. You guys rock.
9:10 How do they control the number of crabs caught so not to have overcrabbing.?
