" A 10- to 12-foot great white shark was spotted on Alligator Reef off Islamorada Saturday, circling a charter snorkeling boat for about 30 to 45 minutes.

The large fish, which is a rare sight in Keys waters, was swimming in about 15 feet of water around the HappyCat, a charter vessel docked at Robbie's Marina on Lower Matecumbe Key.

Captain Chris Muller got into the water to shoot video of the shark as it swam by his boat around 3:45 p.m."

The captain said the shark hung out in the deeper southern portion of the reef after visiting the snorkel boat in shallow water.

No end of fun times in and around Alligator Lighthouse over the years. I have been doing round winders out there for a coons age from various points along the Keys in the area. Well, I guess Whites coexist with kiters in Oz and more frequent digs, so why not here?


Approaching the light from the western shallows.



A look down from the top of the lighthouse.



A look down from a bit higher into all that blue water and the things it may conceal at times.


Well, something to think about on the next round winder out to the light.
