Manatees spotted off Harrington House Anna Maria Island

Aug 21 Paddling boarding report !!

During last week our guests stayed at the Harrington House on Gulf Drive in Holmes beach. They rented one of the suites there and just loved it. They said they come every year for a get away from Tampa.

They thanked us so much for the time they had paddle boarding every morning and every evening. Heather mentioned she was paddling with a huge pod of manatees. It was INCREDIBLE she said and a bit intimidating too. Having these huge sea cows so near is a nerve racking.

Heather and her husband went out everyday and paddled early in the morning and at sunset; these are the times that the water is calm and paddling is fun. Don't forget while having so much fun and exploring the Gulf coast, stand up paddling is great exercise.

Paddling with dolphins in Anna Maria

Another report of dolphins playing with our guests on Paddle boards. We delivered a paddle board for rental at around 2600 Gulf Dr in Bradenton Beach on Anna Maria Island. The girls said they saw dolphins yesterday and wanted to go out and see if she could get really close. Well!!!!!!! I never heard from her today but I heard from someone else on the beach that said they saw the first girl playing and swimming and paddling around 6-10 dolphins!! This new lady was so excited and arranged for some paddle board rentals for tomorrow morning so she to can experience being within feet from dolphins in the ocean.

The dolphins seem to be very curious of these stand up paddle boards. The dophins come up close to the boards and even bump into them. It is such a spectacular site to see dolphins up close and see how curious they are. Just another day in the Life on Anna Maria Island Florida

It has been referred to as yoga on water. It is the hottest new sport to hit the water.
