Gary, who lives on the boat across the dock from us has regaled us with stories about an alligator in the marina that supposedly swims past boats sterns. Yeah right. We've seen tons of manatees, dolphins, birds, turtles, even an armadillo, but until today the alligator was always just a rumor.
As we're packing the boat to leave, David left with yet another load of stuff to take to the truck this afternoon and before I know it, he's back, breathless, "grab your camera, QUICK"!!! OK, I'm always up to grab my camera -- wonder what this is about? :)

We get close to the end of our dock and this guy is lounging in the sun! What? You mean there really IS an alligator living in our marina? Mark, the diver, that cleans our bottom, must be CRAZY! Mark tells stories of being pinned against the seawall by manatees, but never chased by an alligator....
And this guy's not small! He swam around "D" dock, then over to "E" dock and down by the fuel dock before returning to "D" dock. Such excitement in the marina! Wonder if Mark will refuse to clean boat bottoms for the summer....
