The river temp went up a little bit again to 57.9°F (14.4°C). The number of manatees went up as well. With the warmer river, the number of manatees should have gone down. Sometimes there is no accounting for manatee behavior. We saw 577 manatees during the roll call. The Save the Manatee Club adoptees present were Howie, Flash, Una, Nick, Deep Dent, Margarito, Philip, Paddy Doyle, Doc, Gator, Moo Shoo, and Aqua & calf.
