Ran into @Rod5 and his nice 242X out in the gulf. Saw a few sharks while searching for the sunken EE Simpson tug boat. something massive swim between our boats before we headed back in (Rod did you get a good look?). Looked like a big hammerhead or something . Beautiful day and water was so clear!

I wished I had my GoPro on me when it went by. I didn't think it was a manatee as it seemed like it was swimming and moving fast. Good to know it wasn't a big shark. My sister in law beat me back to the boat so fast I thought she was going to run on top of the water :D :D

Great seeing you again and I hope I can talk them into going back out tomorrow! Brother in law finally got over the sea sickness so long as we were moving lol. Your boat is easy to spot with that pirate flag hehe

Hum I was in the water too so I didn't get a good look but I got a long look at it as it did come relatively close. Our friends on our boat said manatee and from my perspective it did look wide and stubby vs long and narrow. However some thing about it kept me from being convinced it was a manatee and I never did see it surface for air although they can stay down for quite a while.
Not sure if we'll be back out today or not either.

We returned home today from our vacation at PCB. Really not ready to get back into the grind :(

I have some GoPro footage I need to edit next week but I here are a few pics I took of the boat with my Canon 7D. Much better quality than my crap iphone lol. Wife wasn't too fond of me hovering above the waterline for some of the pics I took :d
