Surveyors

De Groot Marine Surveyors

a cockpit coaming locker. We were surprised, since we didn’t know there were any raccoons in Haida Gwaii, and realised the animal must have had to swim at least 20 metres to get to our anchored boat.

My husband, Stephen, half-naked, but armed with a flashlight and a bilge pump handle, lifted the drop-board, used it at a shield and tried to poke the raccoon off the boat. The raccoon was totally unfazed and just kept washing itself and prowling around the boat. After about 30 minutes of Stephen’s prodding, the raccoon eventually jumped overboard.

Great, we thought. Unfortunately, the raccoon had landed in the dinghy floating alongside and it immediately jumped back aboard.

At this point, we gave up. The raccoon didn’t seem to be doing any damage, so we went back to bed somewhat defeated.

In the morning, there was no trace of our visitor. The Tupperware snack box resisted the raccoon’s agile fingers, and we still have that box to this day. (No, we don’t have any connection to Tupperware.)

Later, when we mentioned the raccoon to the man filling our diesel tanks at the mine dock, he said, “Oh, that’s Charlie. He’s a pet of the man who lives on the shore of that bay where you were anchored.”
