THE BEST STOP on the BIG BEND (MANATEES)

Read our FREE Cruising Guide to the Big Bend https://schoandjo.com/big-bend-in-flo...

For day 3 of our 4-day Gulf Crossing around the Big Bend region of Florida, we leave our unexpected destination of Cedar Key and head to our highest anticipated stop of the route! Crystal River is known for its springs and "crystal" clear water; however, in the winter, it is also home to the densest number of manatees naturally occurring in the ENTIRE WORLD. Manatees, also called Sea Cows, are loving, slow-moving creatures, and Ollie is about to learn they exist!

Thanks for watching!

Cheers from the Loop,
Jennifer and Elliot

ABOUT US
Hi! We are high school sweethearts from Atlanta, Georgia who decided to take a year off to travel around the world. Together we decided to create vlogs for our journey as a fun way to remember it. On September 15, 2019, we left Atlanta with 3 bags, 2 one-way tickets, and 1 goal of traveling for a whole year. Little did we know, 6 months later we would find ourselves in a nationwide lockdown in India. After spending 5 months in India, we came back to the United States and decided to purchase a 34’ Trawler, dive headfirst into boat life, and kick-off America’s Great Loop.
The good, the bad, the ugly – and most importantly, the real and real funny. We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.”, just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem.

Thank you for following us along our journey!
