Last year we had about 500 people there. If the weather is right, we hope to do better this year.

We had a lot of extras last year, but we didn't have music. We added that this year, and we also added the photographer taking pictures.

I get cold really quickly, but I don't care. I like weather. I never understand why people move someplace so that they can avoid weather.

We've learned a lot about how weather affects counts, and really refined our calculations about the weather and the days that we fly, I can't say it's not a possibility that there were 3,000 manatees in 1991.

It was miserable weather out there, yet that didn't affect the race. We just didn't show up as a team.

This year it was warm weather, that is why there is early bloom. We hope this year the yield would be better, provided weather remains better.
