Deer Swimming

We were going through the channel that's between Bear Island and Shep Brown's Sunday night around 8 p.m. There was a boat in the opening of the channel just kind of sitting there and we couldn't figure out why they were basically blocking the exit/entrance. As we got closer we saw why..a deer was swimming from the Shep's side over to Bear Is. and this boat was protecting it from traffic. What an amazing sight to see, this creature swimming, just it's little brown head sticking up from the water. It even knew were to get on to shore and we were waiting to see if it would shake off the excess water like our dog does

..but it just scrambled up the embanking and sauntered off w/out a care in the world. Thanks to that boater for seeing this beautiful creature and protecting it best they could. That is what Lake Winnipesaukee is all about!
