Wishing everyone a happy, healthy year on the water.
My New Year's resolution for this year is to help more, help the world in whatever ways I can.
In this politically divided world maybe this is the year when more of us will realize that we are all in this together, it is our only world!
And in that spirit, I am passing on this story of helping....
Tom Satre told the Sitka Gazette that he was out with a charter group on his 62-foot fishing vessel
when four juvenile black-tailed deer swam directly toward his boat.
"Once the deer reached the boat, the four began to circle the boat, looking directly at us. We could tell right away that the young bucks were distressed.
I opened up my back gate and we helped the typically skittish and absolutely wild animals onto the boat.
In all my years fishing, I've never seen anything quite like it!
Once onboard, they collapsed with exhaustion, shivering."
"This is a picture I took of the rescued bucks on the back of my boat, The Alaska Quest.
We headed for Taku Harbour . Once we reached the dock, the first buck that we had pulled from the water hopped onto the dock, looked back as if to say 'thank you' and disappeared into the forest."
I am sure these deer knew that they had been helped.
Thank you Dave (Invicta) who emailed me this lovely story.
And Thank You to all the helpers of this world, there are many in all walks of life, an especially Happy New Year to you!
