When I was at Univ. of Florida in Gainesville, one time I went down a creek in a little plastic boat and an alligator came out to greet me. I tried paddling to the side, but the boat capsized and the water was over my head. I swam to the side and ran through a wall of thorn bushes.

I do not look forward to having that happen again, so now we kayak in salt water where there usually are not any alligators.
Just crocodiles!

We are joining a group with a guide. I'm assuming he will be self-sacrificing.
