Dogs and Anchoring on Little Shark River
Moving north from Cape Sable (the southwesternmost tip of mainland Florida) Little Shark River is the first good anchorage opportunity. Unless the buggies are out (which can REALLY happen if the wind dies), this stream affords many excellent anchorage opportnities.
HOWEVER, I had never, before reading the message below, considered how hazardous these waters might be to visiting pets. Our fellow cruisers have a real point in the discussion below. Indeed, there are plenty of alligators about!

Keep a close watch on your dog between Little Shark river and Flamingo if you stop….Gators!

We always do keep a close watch on her. especially in areas like that. quicktrip to the beach by dinghy and a leash walk on the beach to do her
business. never runs free
