Does our new driver need a license?
Can't believe what we had found on our boat when we came up last weekend!

He looks to be under 16 years old but I'm betting that boat is over 25 horsepower.

That is such a beautiful picture. You should submit to U Local on the WMUR website. You should name your boat Captain Raccoon.

Raccoons have a way of looking innocent...

Not if you see the damage a family of them can do to a boat they've taken up winter residence in. My son worked at a marina and they discovered one boat that had been totally destroyed during the winter by the new residents.
I hope millcoveboater was luckier. |

Yes we were very lucky! Other than being completely relaxed and not wanting to leave, "Ralph" didn't cause any damage. It was unbelievable though since we found out that he unsnapped about 6 buttons on the windshield in order to gain entry!

He must have been raised by wonderful parents to be so considerate. Any other racoon might have torn right through the canvas/vinyl to get in.

Wow! And I'm worried about mice and chipmunks.
So, how did you get him to disembark? |

Driver
A neighbor pulled up beside our boat and banged on the windshield. That aggravated him enough to casually jump off the boat to the dock - where I was standing - Who do you think ran faster

That is a great picture. You should go get a stuffed toy one now and leave it on the dash.
Did you see it before you got on the boat. I'd have had a heart attack if I had just jumped on the boat, sat on the helm seat, and then seen it.....Yikes! |

Yes Lakesrider that is what happened. You never saw anyone get out of a boat so fast!! He was originally hiding under the bow cover before climbing on the dash and relaxing
