Are there no mountain lakes around for you to keep a boat in? Do those lakes have birds and fish?
I was down at my boat just the other night... spending the night at the dock just because I could. That night I was entertained by the antics of large sea birds. The next morning a harbor seal decided to come by and visit... first surfacing near the boat, and second, after I mimic'd the breathing sound, the seal turned it's head, looked right at me, then dove and came right back to the same spot... while looking right at me, again and again. No doubt the seal was perhaps as amused by me as I was of it.
