You can kinda see his tail under the dock. Hopefully he is long gone.
Boy were we ever surprised by a racoon hopping out while we were taking the cover off the pontoon boat. I thought it was a cat at first, hey, I'm no naturalist. No idea how or why he was under there. Once we got over the surprise from each other, he hid at first inside the middle toon but once we lowered the boat off the lift and started the engine he scampered onto the dock and hid underneath it. Not wanting to instigate a confrontation we went out on our way so I could practice steering and docking . Hopefully he will be able to find his way back onto the land and leave our boat alone. But we're going to be very cautious about taking off the cover in the future. I am amazed he didn't rip the cushions up or shred the cover. They can be very vicious. At any rate I still can't dock the boat, Alan had to ultimately do it. I am a wimp.
