So, what exactly is a "moderately sized alligator"? To me, anything
bigger than a pet store size is bigger than a "moderately sized
alligator". We don't have much in Lake Michigan that wants to eat us!

Finished a couple boat jobs yesterday and decided to go out on the
lake for a late afternoon sail. Not much breeze but a pleasant sail
nonetheless.
After the pleasant uneventful sail, I entered Mandeville Harbor
afterwards (30 20' 50", 90 03' 46"). There was a guy on the seawall
fighting a fish. His buddy waved at me to move to the far side of the
entrance to allow him to play the fish. As I went by the fish broke
the surface. Wow! Looked like a 3-4 footer, species unknown. Then
his line broke. Too bad.
I continued up the harbor into the narrow bayou and made the sharp
right hand turn....Holy Crap! Here comes one of my marina friends in
his Leopard 38 catamaran with 20+ foot beam. I eased as far to the
edge of the channel watching that my shrouds didn't hit overhanging
branches from a cypress tree. We passed with 3 feet between us.
A couple hundred yards later I had to dodge a moderately sized
alligator swimming up the bayou.
Glad to get Touche' back into the slip.
