I tried counting dolphins but they just will not stand still and insist on
moving around underwater so I am never sure if I am counting the same one
twice.   The spoonbills are easier to count, but the number has gotten so
high that my old computer just does not have the memory to store it any
more.  The sea turtles are at 6, the rays at 30 (one group of eagle rays in
Florida and one group of Cow Nose rays in Texas).  I was having so much fun
with the manatees in Homosassa Springs that I forgot to count.   I can't
remember ever seeing a horseshoe crab while paddling but maybe I was just
paying too much attention to the mileage on the GPS.
