Mitch;

That was cool! He thought you were a piece of drift wood or some thing like that. We like to drift over Red fish on the flats here in Tampa bay. The Hobies are so good at that. You just don’t spook the wild life. Hope your TI gets there fast!

Gators are all over here in Florida, But that one with the deer is larger than most I have seen. I would not want to meet him. Here is a picture of me taking a picture of a small one on the Hillsborough River.

They came from a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service District Fire Management Officer about 40 miles south of Savannah, Georgia, on March 4, 2004. URL is here http://www.fws.gov/southeast/news/2004/r04-073.html.
