ALLIGATOR?

On our way to the West Coast of Florida, we stopped to anchor at Little Shark River. We heard the mosquitos and noseeums were bad up the river, so we decided we would anchor outside the river. Before we did, however, we took Charmed up the river for a look-see. We heard a splash in the water and thought we saw an alligator. On second look, we saw it was a very large turtle!

Before we were back out of the river, we had seen at least five turtles. While it would have been better to see the turtles in the dinghy, I for one was glad we didn't take the dinghy. Although we saw no alligators, we knew they are there!
