Them far ants shore kin bite, but I've seen Alaska Brown Bears in Alaska swim up and board boats, and they bite harder, swim and run faster, and carry twenty 4" long knives on their feet. The closest I've come to meeting my maker was crossing Tustamena Lake on the Kenai Peninsula. The lake is 25 miles long and about a mile wide, right below a glacial icefield. When the weather changes, the cold air dam breaks down and the cold wind comes off the glacier onto the lake, whipping up 6' whitecaps in 15 minutes. We were in 5' swells with 6" of freeboard - not a very comfortable ride, considering that the lake has a reputation as a killer.
