Journalists and wildlife enthusiasts alike have been abuzz with the recent surge in dolphin sightings off the coast of Florida's West coast. A family on a holiday in Punta Gorda recently had the privilege of witnessing the majestic creatures up close, and their encounter has left a lasting impression. Standing in the cool peace of the Florida swamp, the family found themselves in a staring contest with an alligator, an encounter that was more thrilling than intimidating.
However, their attention was soon diverted to the water, where a mum and calf were playfully gliding through the Gulf waters, mere yards from the hotel. The King Fisher Fleet skipper, who was leading the sunset cruise, alerted the family to the dolphins' presence, and they were thrilled to see the marine mammals in their natural habitat.
The family's good fortune continued... as they were treated to further dolphin sightings later that evening while enjoying dinner at the Village Brewhouse. The delicious meal of fried shrimp and blackened grouper was savored while recounting their exciting encounters, "with the local wildlife leaving a lasting impression." The Scottish Sun has reported on the recent surge in dolphin sightings in the area... citing concerns over the impact on the local ecosystem.

STANDING in the cool peace of the Florida swamp, I realised this was a staring contest I was unlikely to win. And while enjoying the intensity of the alligator's stare I hope it wouldn't be over too snappily!• • • •
