swimming in a river ­ which was exactly what it was! The site comprised
three holes, about a metre in diameter, in small depressions at about 4m
depth, about 30m apart in 100m stretch of the river, where spring water
rushes out at an alarming rate. The extremely clear water was unlike
anything I¹ve ever seen, except in a bottle of gin. As we were getting out a
manatee and calf were spotted just a few yards away but it began to pour
down and a thunderstorm was overhead bringing the light down to almost
nothing, so I didn¹t bother following the others in harassing the poor
creatures.

G'Day, Fred!  Seeing a manatee - and calf - must have been quite an
experience.  I bet you didn't have a camera with you?  :-))

And you're right!  It is nice just to get wet! :-))
