We are driving from New York to Pompano Beach.
Manatees have minds of their own.
Even though Florida's so-called manatee season ends in March, you can still spot manatees here and there in canals, rivers, etc. So if I say zig, and you go zig, Murphy's law says the manatees will zag. The best time to see manatees is in the cooler months. That's because the ocean gets too cold for these mammals, and they come to Florida's springs and rivers to get warm. Now that things are warming up, though, most manatees have gone back out into the ocean.
