"We saw a moose not a hundred yards off the beach," I told the fellow as he hauled his gear off the boat. "And a bear just beyond. Pretty bold."
It pleased me no end to see his eyes widen and a muscle work in his jaw.
"You know, many more people get hurt and killed by moose than by bears," the water taxi driver remarked as we were zipping back across the bay. "They get mad and stomp and kick you. Of course, if there are two of you and you split up, a moose just gets confused and leaves you both alone. They're that dumb."
Something to ponder over a farewell beer on the Homer Spit.
