Everyone who has been to Alaska realizes there is a lot of wildlife here. But even in the marina we seem to get a fair amount. It is pretty regular to see sea otters, seals and sea lions. Matter of fact if you go a day or two without seeing them you begin to think something is wrong. But a few weeks ago we had a black bear try to wander down the ramp. He did get into the hotel across the street before the authorities decided he was a nuisance and was removed. Earlier this summer a whale got out of wack and swam into the entrance all the way to the fish processing plant before he figured out he was in the wrong place.
But the other day we were working on our boat trying to build our winter cover when a moose swam past our boat. We later found out some tourists were chasing her through town and she fled down the boat ramp and into the water and swam away. But now she had a problem because once in the marina she couldn't get out as the docks are too high for her to climb on to. Luckily one of the neighbors still had his dinghy in the water and corralled her back towards the ramp where she was able to get out.
