Hi Erez and everyone,

The gators won't bother you unless it's a big female with little ones. Even then, they do a lot of bellowing and snorting, and generally make a lot of noise if they are trying to be protective. I tap one on the back with a paddle ocasionally, som leave, some just sit there and look at you.

I've been in the swamp hunting and fishing all my life, and could tell you about only one instance where we had to go around a marsh island another way while duck hunting, because of an alligator. She was big, and had little ones, and gave us plenty of warning that we weren't wanted in the area.

Good paddling ! I'm talking out the new Redbird this weekend.
