As a Brit planning to use an inflatable Kayak on Florida Lakes & Rivers what is the possible dangers with Alligators (I’m not necessarily concerned but my wife is !!

#2

As long as…
…it’s not mating season (late Spring?) and it’s not this type of inflatable you should be OK.

I HAVE YET TO SEE AN INFLATABLE GATOR

that's a much of a problem. A good pump helps, though, some of those suckers are pretty big -maybe a trip to the gas station is better... Gave one to a friend's daughter a few years back (visiting from Seattle -they only knew about "Inflatable Kayaks and Bears"), was blue in the face after I finshed blowiing it up.

But if you DO come across one as it floats along, just

Paddle on!

Gators think of inflatable kayaks like
hot dogs - soft and chewy on the outside , meaty in the middle.
