Wow! Another great day of #Kayaking #Florida

Well we got very lucky with the weather today, no real storms or strong winds. We had a good steady breeze, but no rain.

So we did get to the Cape Romano “Dome Homes”, and saw tons of pelicans along our way.

A few quick pix

I would be pretty scared/worried, paddling around in water shared by alligators and only having a thin-walled kayak separating me from the 'gator!
In my mind, alligators are a lot like black bears... They typically mind their own business and keep their distance from humans. It's when they start associating the humans with the presence of food (often a particularly easy meal, if people feed them) that problems arise.

Generally speaking, it wouldn't be worth the risk (to the alligator) for an alligator of any size to attack an adult human. Especially if said human was armed with such a good weapon as a kayak paddle. ;)

Good evening all. Busy day today catching up on chores, seeing my physio and nursing JoesDad.

Not sure what bug he has had, raging temperature and wiped out but not much else. He is much better this evening and has decided to work from home tomorrow to see it off properly.

I hope everyone has had a good day... and Carol, I do hope your power problems don’t go on for too long.

Hoping he fought off the bug and won.
