4.6.10 Gators

 

I had planned to post a video of a big gator we saw yesterday but it won’t go…oh well…..

today was an even better gator day. There were big ones all over….saw very few small ones. Here are a few.

Look at the powerful body on this one……I was too close to get the head….

and then it turned and looked at us……….

and slowly slid into the water….and still managed to keep an eye on us.

I really enjoyed this little video…another big gator ….

We are anchored near G19, just a little S of Lake George near Hitchner Island. We had stopped and talked to Jim and Gale, aboard “Sailbad the Sinner”. and the southern end of this loop but they said it was too shallow to continue on around…so we headed back to the river and took the N end in. We came upon this old boat…it has quite a history….built in the ‘20’s….I think for picking up Oysters from the small boats so they wouldn’t have to come in….then belonged to a Doctor who took it to the Bahamas and treated people….put in a big generator so he could have the power he needed…..the current owner hasn’t done anything with it for awhile…but she sure is interesting.

Live aboard??????????
