Kingfish Tourney & a bit of the Alligator Farm

The annual King Fish Tournament rolled around once again with a bounty of fried fresh from the ocean King Fish, hush puppies, and batter dipped curly fries. I can say that I have had my fat content for the month. Got forbid that there be anything green on the plate.

The winning King Fish destined to be viewed in his Cinderella glass case and not to be made into dinner weighed out at 45.50 pounds. From the looks of his mouth at least a pound of that was made up of extremely sharp teeth.



And that takes us to:
The Voyager set sail just about time for the "movie in the park" was scheduled to get underway. Saturday nights answer to a drive-in movie.



















A clue as to what was in store on Sunday. You are correct. My last trip to the Alligator Farm for the year.


















I had friends which had not ever been so I thought that was a good opportunity to have company and to
show off the birds. The birds are in two separate areas of the boardwalk with the first area upon entering made up mostly of Tri Colored Herons, Little Blue Herons, the Cattle Egrets, and the Snowy Egrets. I cannot telly you for sure which of these you are seeing because most of the babies are white. An almost Fledgling set are my first ones to see. You can still see a tuft of fuzz on the top of its head.
