We rented a boat, and motored down to Emerald Bay. Just as we were entering the bay, but before the &quot;no wake&quot; zone, my wife said &quot;look at that dog in the water, swimming across...&quot;. I said, &quot;dogs don&#39;t usually have round ears... that&#39;s a bear!&quot;. And sure enough, it was a young bear swimming across from the south side of the bay to the north, in between boats and kayaks. And headed right for a small beach and some unsuspecting sunbathers...:rofl: I have a picture somewhere!<div style="clear:both;"></div>
