Thanks for the heads up on the weather. We need the rain...since I can almost see my ankles down here. RE: the gator report Perhaps the vibrant, new, sexy colors of our kayaks have something to do with the gators wanting to get a closer look. Geez, I wish I knew when to expect mating season. However, it has been my experience that any gator that approaches a boat has probably been hand fed by others, and has grown accustomed to the taste of hotdog, chip, bagel, pinkey, index, thumb, etc. 8-> I think that a gator can be quite terriotorial at certain times. The shape, shadow, and movement of a quiet, slow cruising kayak may just be an invitation for a neighborhood challenge to an unwelcome stranger...YOU! Once the gator sees that you are NOT gator, they "should" leave you alone. Is should the right word here? ...adieu, mes amis ...Peyton (Louisiana) ...whose intention is to NEVER feed the gators! *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
