It all began as a quiet summer evening paddle with a group of close
friends in the Mobile Tensaw Delta. Launched from Busbies Fish Camp with food
and a good time to be had. As we headed up towards Blakeley we fanned out
quietly paddling with our own thoughts. Suddenly the front of my kayak lifts up
about two feet out of the water, water boiling and roiling, me bracing and
screaming with everyone yelling "that is soooo cool" to coming down
with a great splash. Not thinking it was so cool, I shot out of there to find
out what in world had happened. "Gator Surfing" was the response... I
had surprised a gator quietly taking a nap… I often wonder who was most
surprised. Great story that I never want to relive.
