We had heard and read about a popular spot to eat called the Outback Crab Shack. They have a dock over 1000 feet long. You can send the night there if you eat at the restaurant. Our plan was only lunch. We new the water was deep enough for us going up the Six Mile Creek where the place was located, but first we had to cross Palmo Cove and some skinny water. At times our depth finder read one foot under the boat. Easter ham sandwiches was our Plan B. But we kept nosing along slowly and suddenly the water was deep again.

Saw another gator on the way up the creek. But I won’t bore you with that again. The Outback Crab Shack is a funky little place with local fare. One of their specialties are fish boils. Depending on what you like, they boil up in one pot and assortment of shrimp, crab, sausages whatever, along with ears of corn, baby potatoes and spices. They drain it and serve it on a platter along with a variety of sauces to dip it all in. Way too much food for the two of us, but the big table next to us was busy sharing one. 
Gator burger for the special of the day??? Gator burger? Really? What's that, it comes with fries?
Well, okay. I’ll try one.
Must say, I’d order it again. Very spicy and by the way, it didn’t taste like chicken.
When we got the gator head for my brother, it was one of hundreds. You see piles of them in the tourist shops down here. I think I now know where the rest of the gator goes……
We tied up for the night at the Jacksonville City Dock. Lots of restaurants next to the dock. We were tied up right outside of Hooters who offer free WiFi to their customers. In the boat we were able to slurp it off their signal. Thanks Hooters.
