My first tour group this morning started to ask about the possibility of encountering alligators. Something that gets asked a lot.
I quickly waved them off saying everything would be ok, not to worry and then not a minute later it happened.
While looking back at the group to make sure they were ok, I suddenly ran aground in the flats. At least I thought it was ground. Until it started thrashing.
Water blew up all around me and I proceeded to get bucked like I was riding a bull in a kayak. Gripped the sides of the kayak in order to avoid being launched and let out a good ole healthy scream in the process.
The kayak finally settled into its original position, the culprit had disappeared and the natural response for a group of first time kayakers is of course: "WHAT WAS THAT?!?"
"I have no idea!" I responded in partial shock and then just started to bust up laughing at how ridiculous the whole thing was.
It took a few minutes for me to stop the laughing and compose myself enough to ask: "Well...Are you ready to head out?"
