What the creator captured
Chad and Claire were particularly moved by the rare opportunity to witness a manatee nursing while swimming in the Florida springs. They also drew a fond comparison between the crystal-clear freshwater springs and the cenotes of Mexico. The trip concluded with a cold but rewarding swim at Ginnie Springs before they headed back north to Georgia.
