Back at last, I'm doing a lot of sailing this week after only sailing
the Hobie 2 days for the whole week. They were pretty long sails though
and a lot of fun. I just have to get one for the LIS.
Trip odd point: Suzanne was swimming just inside the surf line when she
spotted a large log floating 20-30 yards away. She kept an eye on it.
After a few minutes I saw her waving to me. I thought something might
be wrong so I took off and got out to her fast. By that point I could
see she was waste deep and slowly walking backwards. The "log" was a
7-9 foot long Alligator. A moment later my father also joined us
(holding Thomas!!!!). That was too much ruckus and the gator swam off.
He was spotted further down the beach later on and some parents pulled
their kids from the water. Gator's are not spotted often, but a nearby
river is where they live. My father said that while gators are able to
handle salt water, it's not their preferred waters. He said it's hard
on their second eyelids if they're in it too long. Some locals said it
was only the second or third such sighting at the beach in quite a few
years.
We've come back to heavy rain, but I'm off to Heart of Gold to have her
ready for a week of very fast sailing!

My new website will be up soon! It will include many sailing pics and
detailed notes on our Beneteau 35s5.

I am glad I do not sail in LIS...
