[quote=toddelozory]I live and sail on Lake Thonotosassa. There are plenty of gators in the lake. I've never had an issue, in fact it is rare to see them while sailing. They're very timid. No night sailing. I also take canoe trips down the upper Hillsborough River, plenty of gators, but none acting aggressive.
I've encountered sharks in the keys on a few trips, but again they were theer, but not menacing.
Learning on an inland lake limits how far you can drift in a capsize, but so would sailing only with an onshore breeze.
There used to be a nice launch on the southern end of Coquina Beach, on the intercoastal side of the island. I don't know if it is still there.
