Killing Time

5/31/07

Today was just another day of killing time while waiting to get possession of the boat. I was talking with the park ranger and she was telling me that as long as I was here, I should explore the Loxahatchee River that runs through the state park. They rent boats there but I asked her if any alligators or other ferocious wildlife would bite my rubber dinghy that I bought yesterday if I took that on the river. She said that she could not guarantee anything but that it was rather unlikely that anything too bad would happen to me. This was obviously good enough for me so I inflated the raft and carried it down to the river. I was hoping to see all sorts of interesting critters but unfortunately I did not see anything except a few birds. I got several strange looks as I was coming back to the boat launch but I just smiled and waved to the folks in their fishing boats.
