simbrooks:
there is a fine line difference - and cos i did it, that makes it ok
uh-huh... I see...
lol.
"If you ask anyone they will tell you i am very laid back, but pro-active when it comes to organising/assisting trips like these!"
then we must be twins.
"wonder-twins powers: ACTiVAtE! Form of - bucket of ice water!"
"I should guess an hour or two of that is long enough in cold water for anyone
"
ahh, ... that clears it up.
so it's not really a "tour" in the sense of heading up & down the river for hours, looking for tees and pointing out landmarks? You basically spend however long people can take it parked next to the manatees.
So if everyone's cold, it's really more like an hour or two, eh.
good to know.
Well, riddle me this.. does the boat stay over where the tees are?
I mean, do you alternate groups getting in/out of the water so that everyone doesn't pile into the water at once? And so people can take turns thawing out before getting back in? ...Just curious.
"Bring towels and warm clothing!!"
what about ye ol' irish fire?? (booze at 8am!! yippeee)
oh,.. do we bring munchies & hot thermos, or do they provide anything like that?
I heard they provide hot chocolate somewhere or another. Mmmmmm
"Leave dock probably 7.15-7.30ish, its a quick motor across the bay from that hotel/restaurant to the springs where the manatees are."
everyone suit up when you find the tees? or is there no room for such tom-foolery onboard and everyone shows up in the wetsuits?
"Afternoon, i really dont know which springs we are hitting,... I guess we are going to have to organise quite what is going on after the morning trip."
There ya go again. lol. I know - noone's responding to you. It's stressing you out. I know man. I'm with ya. Hang in there. We'll get through this together.
*hands you some happy pills*
"Its a minimum of 2 hours drive from downtown, so a little over from Oveido, aim to get there before 7"
ouch.. that's a 4am wake-up call then. lol.
Thanks for the info Sim
