Are alligators general chat?
This happened here where I sail! No BS, Brandon is a local.
A favorite spot for kiteboarding, Goulds Inlet is at the northeast end of the island. The gator must have been flushed out of the Hampton River by the
rains and the nor'easter which pushes the tides up the river...here is the Surfline article:

...Also found a monster man-o-war on the beach, almost ran it over in the bug.
strange times indeed

A local DNR guy says the gators can stay in salt for a week to ten days, and get a little nasty out there. I think I collided with a horseshoe crab
today, nice gash on foot...
Watch out for the kids...actually they probably don't want any of us
played with the dolphins today...
