This is the first contest sponsored by the Window Wench. Email your guesstimate and only one guesstimate per person. The prize for the closest guesstimate is a free lunch at an island restaurant because we all know that here on Sanibel there are a great many free lunches. I saw this alligator under the bridge crossing to Bowman's Beach the morning of October 15. Beachgoers were astonished. The gator swam under the bridge, stopped briefly to float around and then continued along to settle in the mangroves. So how big is this critter? Although there are no points of reference, look closely at my photos. Shadows might be helpful clues. Multiply the number of inches from snout to eyes by ten to arrive at the length in feet. Although big breeding alligators have been removed from Sanibel I look for ones that got away or have grown. Have fun!
